No overall grade (2025) — 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 3 June 2025, published 7 July 2025. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
