Inspection

Ofsted ungraded inspection, 7 March 2024: School remains Good

An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.

Read the report

Last overall grade: Good, given on 6 June 2013

(inspection of the predecessor school, Bedonwell Junior School)

Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
