Next inspection: around October 2028
The last inspection was in October 2024. 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.
