Good (2022) — 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 16 March 2022, published 15 May 2022. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.

“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.
