Great Bentley Primary School
Primary school in Colchester, Essex. School remains Outstanding (Nov 2022).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 3 November 2022, report published 13 December 2022.
This inspection was given to Great Bentley Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Great Bentley Primary School hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.
School remains Outstanding
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 November 2026
The last inspection was in November 2022. Schools are usually inspected about every four years. That’s within the next six months.
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.
