Graded inspection (no overall grade) · 22 Oct 2024
This inspection was of a predecessor school, before it reopened under its current reference number. Ofsted says grades of a predecessor school can’t, in law, transfer to the new one.
No overall grade: from September 2024 to November 2025 Ofsted gave sub-grades only (recorded as “Not judged”).

Results
