Buxton Community School
Secondary school in Buxton, Derbyshire. School remains Good (Jan 2020).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 29 January 2020, report published 8 March 2020.
This inspection was given to Buxton Community School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Buxton Community School hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.
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 January 2024
The last inspection was in January 2020. 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 2025 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
