Improved significantly (2025) — Ungraded inspection — “Improved significantly” (no overall grade issued)
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 26 March 2025, published 11 May 2025. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
