Ofsted
We are delighted with the findings of the most recent Ofsted Inspection which took place on the 7th and 8th December 2022.
Although this was an ungraded inspection (which takes place approximately every four years) we received the highest possible outcome for this type of inspection where Ofsted said, "There is enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding if we were to carry out a graded (section 5) inspection now. The school's next inspection will be a graded inspection.
