Ungraded inspection: no current grade

Ofsted's most recent visit was an ungraded inspection; its outcome was “Standards maintained”. Since September 2024 these outcomes no longer confirm a named grade, and the school's last graded inspection is too old to appear in Ofsted's current data file, so SchoolFacts shows no grade rather than guessing. Earlier grades are on the school's Ofsted report page.
