Standards maintained (2025) — Ungraded inspection — “Standards maintained” (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 19 March 2025, published 14 May 2025. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Exam results
| Measure | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Reaching the expected standard in reading, writing & maths | 82% |
| Reaching the higher standard | 11% |
“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.

Oversubscribed — 1.7 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 30 | 51 | 138 | 30 |

| Sept 2024 entry | 30 | 47 | 153 | 30 |
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.
