Ungraded inspection: no current grade
Ofsted's most recent visit was an ungraded inspection; its outcome was “Some aspects not as strong”. 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.

52% of teachers stayed at the school the following year · 30% moved to another state school · 18% left the state-funded sector

Spending per pupil
Total expenditure ÷ pupils, council-maintained school finance return (DfE Schools Financial Benchmarking, latest year). Higher spending is not a measure of quality. It often reflects greater pupil need or a smaller school. Open Government Licence v3.0.
