About this school

Ofsted has not yet inspected Dobcroft Junior School under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Dobcroft Junior School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in July 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Dobcroft Junior School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Dobcroft Junior School (closed June 2026)
Ofsted no longer gives schools a single overall grade. Each area of the school's work is graded on a five-point scale, and safeguarding is judged separately.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
