Good (2023)Ungraded inspection — “School remains Good” (previous grade confirmed, not re-graded)

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 21 June 2023, published 1 August 2023. 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.
