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 27 September 2023, published 9 November 2023. Read the full Ofsted report
England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
