Standards maintained (2024) — 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 6 November 2024, published 2 December 2024. 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.
