Inspection

Ofsted management information, as at 30 September 2026.

Ungraded inspection

21 February 2024

“School remains Good (Concerns) - S5 Next”

“S5 Next” is Ofsted’s note that the school’s next inspection will be a graded one.

This inspection was of the predecessor school, before it converted or reopened under its current URN.

An ungraded inspection checks that the school is still at the standard of its last graded inspection. It does not give a new grade.
