Ofsted judgement
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 22 January 2025, where inspectors found the school has improved significantly. 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 Hoole Church of England Primary School (URN 134248).
