Columbia Grange School
Special school in Washington, Sunderland. School remains Outstanding (Mar 2020).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 4 March 2020, report published 18 May 2020.
This inspection was given to Columbia Grange School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Columbia Grange 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 March 2024
The last inspection was in March 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.
