Uniform costs

DfE statutory guidance asks schools to keep uniform costs down, to say clearly what is required and what is optional, and to say where second-hand uniform can be bought.

Ofsted

Report cardNo overall grade. Inspected 20/01/2026

Ofsted report cards (from November 2025) grade each area on a five-point scale: Exceptional, Strong standard, Expected standard, Needs attention, Urgent improvement. Safeguarding standards are not graded: they are met or not met. Ofsted gives no overall grade, and none is worked out here.

Area	Judgement
Safeguarding standards	Met
Inclusion	Strong standard
Curriculum and teaching	Expected standard
Achievement	Expected standard
Attendance and behaviour	Strong standard
Personal development and wellbeing	Strong standard
Early years	Strong standard
Leadership and governance	Expected standard

Inspection history

Date	Outcome
20/01/2026	Report card: Strong standard in 4 areas, Expected standard in 3; safeguarding standards met
19/10/2021	Good
21/11/2011	Good

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.
