John Ray Infant School
Primary school in Braintree, Essex. School remains Good (Nov 2019).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 14 November 2019, report published 10 December 2019.
This inspection was given to John Ray Infant School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. John Ray Infant 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 November 2023
The last inspection was in November 2019. 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.
