Ofsted Inspection Report
Dear Parents and Carers, 26th March 2026
Re: Ofsted Inspection Report
I am extremely proud to be able to share with you the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection on 20th and 21st January 2026, with the full report being published by Ofsted in the coming days.
As many of you will be aware, the Ofsted inspection framework changed as of September 2025 and so we have been inspected and graded under the new criteria. As such, we no longer have a one-word judgment but instead a ‘report card’ of gradings. The overview of the ‘report card’ can be found below:
The full report highlights that we meet the Strong Standard in 4 categories: Early Years provision, Inclusion, Leadership and Governance, and Personal Development and Wellbeing. We also meet the Expected Standard in the further 4 categories: Achievement, Attendance and Behaviour, Curriculum and Teaching, and Post-16 Provision. We are also proud that Inspectors recognised our safeguarding as meeting the standards, noting our “open culture” where “concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed” in order to ensure “pupils are made safer and feel safe”.
Some other Key highlights from the report include:
- “All decisions made by leaders are in the best interest of the pupils and the community”
- “Pupils feel that they can achieve anything that they would like to do”
- “Leaders ensure that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain and beyond”
- “Inclusion is seen as everybody's responsibility”
The result is testament to the hard work of our scholars, the dedication of staff and the support of our parents and community. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to continuing to Build a Legacy as we focus on the future ahead.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Bonthron Ms Donnelly Mr David
Head of Academy Principal (All Through) Principal (Primary)
