## Ofsted category of concern

At its inspection on 24 June 2025 (Ofsted graded inspection (previous framework)) this school was placed in the category "serious weaknesses". Ofsted judged that one or more key areas of the school's performance needed significant improvement, while leaders had the capacity to improve. This category was later renamed “requires significant improvement”. Schools do leave these categories, so this is not a statement of where the school stands today. Check that with Ofsted.

## How many families applied

In the 2025 intake, 170 families named this school as their first preference, and it made 141 offers.

That is 1.21 first preferences per place offered, at Year 7. This describes demand. It is not a pass rate and not a prediction.

Little change. Across the 5 most recent years held, first preferences per place averaged 1.27 in 2021–2022 and 1.28 in 2024–2025.

## Catchment area

We hold no published admission area for this school. That is not the same as an address being outside one. We cannot say either way.

"Retrieved" is the day we downloaded the data, not the day it was written, so a figure can be about an earlier year.
