Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. It inspects schools and other services that provide education and care for children and learners.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection took place on 15 and 16 July 2025. The report was published on 19 September 2025.

Ofsted made the following judgements:

• Quality of education – Good

• Behaviour and attitudes – Good

• Personal development – Outstanding

• Leadership and management – Good

• Early years provision – Good

Ofsted also confirmed that the school’s safeguarding arrangements are effective.

From September 2024, Ofsted no longer awarded an overall effectiveness grade to state-funded schools. Therefore, our report contains separate judgements for each area rather than one overall grade.
