Admissions
Nursery places are applied for directly, not through the Reception or Year 7 process. A nursery place does not guarantee a Reception place at any school.
Inspection
Ofsted ungraded inspection, 7 May 2025: Standards maintained
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.
Last overall grade: Outstanding, given on 24 February 2016
Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
