Ofsted judgement

England: previous inspection framework

Inspected 29 March 2023 · short inspection

Good

Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one

Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 29 March 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good, but had some concerns; a full inspection will follow. 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 Branton Community Primary School (URN 122188).
