Ofsted

Ungraded inspectionInspected Nov 2022. No grade given.

Ofsted carried out an ungraded inspection. These inspections give no grade and no key judgements, so none is shown here. Read the report itself for what inspectors found.

Last graded inspection: Good (22 Feb 2012). Ofsted has not graded the school since; its latest visit, in Nov 2022, was ungraded.

Ofsted management information, as at 30 September 2026, via WhatSchool: Ofsted may have published a newer report since. Since September 2024 Ofsted no longer gives a single overall grade at new inspections, so a one-word grade, where shown, belongs to the inspection date beside it. Ungraded inspections give no grade and are dated by month only. Inspections from September 2024 to November 2025 grade key judgements; report cards (from November 2025) grade evaluation areas.
