The school's most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in June 2025 confirmed that standards are maintained, following a graded inspection in March 2020 that awarded a Good rating across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a clear improvement from the previous inspection in November 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement.
