Ofsted inspections

Shown exactly as Ofsted published them, each with its own date.

Graded inspection (no overall grade) · 24 Sep 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.

Category of concern: Special measures. What this means.

No overall grade: from September 2024 to November 2025 Ofsted gave sub-grades only (recorded as “Not judged”).

  • Quality of educationInadequate
  • Behaviour and attitudesRequires improvement
  • Personal developmentRequires improvement
  • Leadership and managementInadequate
  • Safeguarding is effectiveYes

Grades run from Outstanding to Inadequate (four steps, left to right).

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

For a place at the usual starting age you apply through your home council (where you live), even if the school is in another area — not to the school. You can usually name several schools in order of preference.
