Kingsmead School

Special school in Derby. School remains Good (Sep 2021).

Latest inspection: ungraded

Inspected 30 September 2021, report published 10 November 2021.

This inspection was given to Kingsmead School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Kingsmead 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 2025

The last inspection was in September 2021. 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.
