Ofsted & School Performance
Ofsted report 2026
Our last Ofsted report is from May 2026, where we secured four “Strong Standards” across the areas of Early Years, Attendance & Behaviour, Inclusion, and Personal Development & Wellbeing, which means that the school is working at a standard above what is expected by the Department for Education.Three areas were judged as “Expected Standards” - Achievement, Curriculum and Teaching, and Leadership - which are at the professional standard expected. Read the full report on the Ofsted website.
The previous Ofsted inspection found our school to be ‘Good’ in all areas. See the previous report on the Ofsted website.
