Dame Dorothy Primary School

Primary school in Sunderland. School remains Good (Feb 2022).

Latest inspection: ungraded

Inspected 10 February 2022, report published 31 March 2022.

This inspection was given to Dame Dorothy Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Dame Dorothy 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 February 2026

The last inspection was in February 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.
