## Ofsted category of concern

At its inspection on 26 February 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

## 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.
