Southern Cross School
Special school in Manchester. School remains Good (Sep 2023).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 27 September 2023, report published 9 November 2023.
This inspection was given to Southern Cross School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Southern Cross 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 September 2027
The last inspection was in September 2023. Schools are usually inspected about every four years.
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 2029 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
