Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.

Ofsted graded 6 areas: curriculum and teaching — Expected Standard; achievement — Expected Standard; behaviour and routines — Expected Standard; welfare and wellbeing — Expected Standard; inclusion — Expected Standard; leadership and governance — Expected Standard.
