Marlborough School

Special school in Sidcup, Bexley. Improved significantly (Jun 2025).

Latest inspection: ungraded

Inspected 11 June 2025, report published 14 July 2025.

Improved significantly

An ungraded inspection is a shorter visit to check that a school is still at the grade it was given at its last full inspection. It doesn’t award a new grade. The full inspection it refers to was before September 2019, so it isn’t in Ofsted’s current data. More about ungraded inspections.

Next inspection: around June 2029

The last inspection was in June 2025. Schools are usually inspected about every four years.

An estimate, not an Ofsted date. Ofsted doesn’t publish its schedule and gives schools about a day’s notice. The law says the next inspection must be by August 2030 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
