Ofsted
Ofsted report card published, on 14 April 2026.
The report card grades separate areas of the school's work. Ofsted does not combine them into one overall judgement.
- Current published outcome
- Report card — no overall grade
- Last overall grade in this dataset
- Not stored — this dataset keeps the latest inspection, which has no overall grade
- Days since inspection
- 171 days
- Framework era
- Current framework (no overall grade)
These four fields describe the latest published inspection on this record. The dataset does not keep a previous inspection row, so a school inspected under the current framework will usually have no overall grade to show as “prior”.

- Inclusion
- Strong standard

Traffic volume is the context the collision count needs: a school beside a major road will record more collisions than one on a quiet street without being any less well run.
Every collision reported to the police within 500m of the school over the five years to 2024, from the Department for Transport's road casualty statistics. A high count usually says the school sits on or near a busy road, not that the school is unsafe — counts rise with traffic and with how built up an area is, and a rural school on a fast road may have fewer collisions but a worse one. Distances are straight-line from the school's recorded position.
The area around the school

Among the more deprived half of England for children in low-income families.
Indices of Deprivation 2019, for the small area the school stands in. 1 means the most deprived tenth of England, 10 the least. The second measure counts only children living in low-income families, which is the one that describes the intake a school is likely to draw on.

Homes around this school are dearer than most of England.
Every residential sale registered in this postcode sector since January 2024, from HM Land Registry. A sector covers roughly 2,500 addresses. England's median over the same period was £293,000.
Housing here is among the dearest in England while the resident population is among the most deprived. High house prices in a district do not mean the families who live there are well off, and this school's intake is likely to reflect the population rather than the property market.
