Ungraded inspection · 5 Feb 2025
Outcome: Some aspects not as strong. An ungraded inspection checks whether a school is still at the standard of its last graded inspection; it doesn’t give new grades.

Results
No results for this school are in the performance tables we use. Results are published for schools with pupils at the end of Year 6, Year 11 or 16 to 18 study, and figures are hidden when very few pupils are involved.

Admissions
A school named in a child’s education, health and care (EHC) plan must give them a place. Ask your council about places at special schools.
