Good (2023) — Ungraded inspection — “School remains Good (Improving) - S5 Next” (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 23 November 2023, published 14 January 2024. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
