Whinfield Primary School
Primary school in Darlington. School remains Good (Mar 2022).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 30 March 2022, report published 25 May 2022.
This inspection was given to Whinfield Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Whinfield Primary 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 March 2026
The last inspection was in March 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 2027 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
