School remains Good

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 October 2026

The last inspection was in October 2022. Schools are usually inspected about every four years. It’s now later than the usual gap, so an inspection could happen at any time.

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 2028 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
