This inspection was given to Carlton Colville Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Carlton Colville Primary School hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.
No overall grade. From September 2024 Ofsted stopped giving one, but still graded each area.
| Area | Grade |
|---|---|
| Quality of education | Good |
| Behaviour and attitudes | Good |
| Personal development | Good |
| Leadership and management | Good |
| Early years | Good |

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 March 2029
The last inspection was in March 2025. 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 2030 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
