Test and exam results

iWhat the DfE publishes at school level differs by type of school. The Ofsted judgements and pupil numbers below are published for most schools.

No key stage results are published for this school. This can be because the school is new, very small, or does not enter pupils for these tests.

Ofsted

Ungraded inspectionInspected Dec 2024. 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 (19 May 2015). Ofsted has not graded the school since; its latest visit, in Dec 2024, 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.
