How places are given

If more families want a school than it has places, the admissions authority uses its published oversubscription criteria to decide. The order is set by the school's admissions policy, and the usual order is:

Children in care and children who were previously in care.
Children with a medical or social need that the school can best meet.
Brothers and sisters already at the school.
Children who live closest to the school, or in its catchment area.

Church schools and some others add faith or other criteria. Distances change every year because they depend on who applies, so last year's furthest distance is not a promise. Ask the school or the council for the policy that applies to the year you are applying for.

General explanation, not a statement about this school. The school's own policy and the School Admissions Code (DfE) are the authority.

Ofsted

Ungraded inspectionInspected May 2023. 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 (18 Jul 2017). Held from earlier data: Ofsted's management information as at 30 September 2026 gives no date for the last graded inspection of a school whose only block is ungraded.

Inspection history

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.
