Ofsted

Our most recent visit took place on 26th and 27th November 2024. Our school was judged GOOD for overall effectiveness before September 2024 and the November visit has found that we have taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.

How Ofsted inspections work

Ofsted began routine inspection of schools in January 2026 under their new assessment framework which no longer includes one-word judgements of a school’s overall performance. The new way of carrying out inspections is designed to ensure schools are meeting the needs of all children, including those who are disadvantaged and those with SEND.

How are schools now graded?

The previous inspection grades of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate have been replaced. Ofsted has stressed that the old grades cannot be compared to the new outcomes due to its different approach to inspections and the new way of reporting to parents and carers.

The following five-point scale is now in place:

What is inspected and graded?

Specific focus areas are graded individually for every school inspected. These are:

• Achievement
• Attendance and Behaviour
• Curriculum and Teaching
• Early Years or Post-16 Provision (if applicable)
• Inclusion
• Leadership and Governance
• Personal Development and Wellbeing

How are inspection findings published?

Ofsted reports are being replaced with new online report cards. It is perfectly possible for a school to achieve highly in some areas whilst requiring more focus and development in others.

Alongside the grades a school achieves in each area, the report card also provides detailed descriptions of what inspectors found during their inspection. This is to help parents and carers understand why Ofsted has awarded the different grades and what it’s like to be a child or young person at that school.
