Ofsted
Good (2024) — Rated under the pre-September 2024 inspection system
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 30 January 2024, published 18 March 2024. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
