Ofsted inspection
Short (ungraded) inspection, 11 December 2024: Improved significantly. It was inspected as St Herbert's RC School, before the school changed (for example, became an academy).
From Ofsted's published inspection data (Open Government Licence). Report cards and older grades use different scales, so they can't be compared directly.
