No overall grade (2024) — Inspected 2024–2025 — no overall grade under the interim framework
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 29 October 2024, published 29 January 2025. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
