Ofsted judgement
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 5 November 2024, where inspectors found some aspects are not as strong as at the previous inspection. 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.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as Woodham Walter Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School (URN 115123).
