Special measures. Ofsted placed the school in a category of concern.
This inspection was given to Rothwell Junior School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. Rothwell Junior 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 | Inadequate |
| Behaviour and attitudes | Requires improvement |
| Personal development | Requires improvement |
| Leadership and management | Inadequate |
| Safeguarding effective | Yes |
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 September 2028
The last inspection was in September 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 2030 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
