Outstanding (2024) — Ungraded inspection — “School remains Outstanding” (previous grade confirmed, not re-graded)
This school has not yet been inspected under the report-card system introduced in November 2025. When it is, this section will show a grade for each area — Ofsted says the new grades do not map onto the old ones, so we do not predict them.
Inspected 7 February 2024, published 17 March 2024. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
