Alternative provision school in Nottingham. Good (Oct 2021).

Latest graded inspection

This grade was given to Hospital and Home Education PRU (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Nottingham HOPE Academy hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.

These grades come from the system Ofsted replaced in November 2025. They stay on record until the school’s next inspection, when it gets a report card instead. More about the old grades.

Next inspection: around October 2025

The last inspection was in October 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.
