Standards maintained (2025) — Ungraded inspection — “Standards maintained” (no overall grade issued)
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 30 April 2025, published 22 May 2025. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
