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.

GCSE results (2024/2025)
221 pupils at the end of key stage 4 in 2024/2025
Progress 8 is suspended nationally for 2024/25 and 2025/26. These cohorts sat no key stage 2 tests (COVID), so there is no baseline to measure progress from.
