Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one

Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 7 December 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
