Inspection & safeguarding
Latest outcome: Does NOT meet standards; action plan required
A standard was not met, but safeguarding was judged effective — a compliance point, not a child-safety concern.
Estyn issues narrative (ungraded) findings by design — “no grade” here is not missing data.

Pupil–teacher ratio: not published — independent schools aren’t in the DfE workforce census, and filed accounts don’t separate teaching staff.
Capital trend: only one year of capital spend is on record, so a multi-year under-investment signal can’t be computed yet.
