Inspection
Ofsted ungraded inspection, 9 October 2024: Standards maintained
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.
Last overall grade: Good, given on 8 May 2019
Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
