Ofsted ungraded inspection, 23 May 2024: School remains Good (Improving) - S5 Next
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.

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