Current Ofsted Rating

January 2020 - Good

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people, and services providing education and skills for learners of all ages.

It inspects all English state schools at least once every three years. After the inspection, Ofsted publishes a public report that contains information on the school’s performance, its pupils’ work, observation reports on lessons and views from staff, parents and pupils.

The report makes judgements on:

• achievements and standards
• pupils' development and wellbeing
• the quality of teaching and learning
• how the curriculum is taught
• the care, guidance and support the school provides
• how well the school is led and managed

Judgements are scored on a four-point scale:

• one - outstanding
• two - good
• three - satisfactory
• four - inadequate

The report also makes suggestions for improvement, and the school is expected to put the suggestions into practice.
