Ofsted
Good (2023) — Rated under the pre-September 2024 inspection system
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 3 July 2023, published 13 September 2023. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
