Eduscope verdict

Worth a visit, with questions

Popular and well run on paper, but the top grade is old and recent results are mixed.

Illustrative example. Our scoring isn't live yet, so these ratings are not this school's.

    What Ofsted found

    Every Ofsted visit

    Ofsted inspects every state school every few years. Choose a year to see what they found.

    A shorter visit in September 2026

    Ofsted came back for a shorter visit. These visits check whether a school is still as good as its last grade, and don't give a new grade. It's the most up-to-date view of the school, so it's worth reading before you visit.
