Inspection
Ofsted ungraded inspection, 22 November 2023: School remains Good
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.
Last overall grade: Good, given on 26 June 2014
Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
