Ofsted ungraded inspection, 7 October 2021: School remains Outstanding
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.
Last overall grade: Outstanding, given on 11 September 2012
Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
