Oakwood School
Special school in Walsall. School remains Outstanding (Concerns) - S5 Next (Jun 2024).
Latest inspection: ungraded
Inspected 5 June 2024, report published 23 June 2024.
This inspection was given to Oakwood School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Oakwood School hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.
School remains Outstanding (Concerns) - S5 Next
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. “S5 Next” means inspectors decided the next visit should be a full graded inspection. 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 June 2028
The last inspection was in June 2024. 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.
