Ofsted

▲Good (2023) — 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 5 May 2023, published 22 June 2023. Read the full Ofsted report

England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.

Exam results

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

Will my child get in?

Roughly one first choice per place — 1 first-choice application per place (Sept 2026 entry)

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
