Ofsted Information
In June 2022, Ofsted Inspectors visited James Brindley and rated it ‘Good’
A Ofsted rated Good school will receive Grade 2 for most if not inspection categories, with one or two categories rated Grade 1 or Grade 3. Good schools will provide for all their pupils’ educational needs, and prepare them well for the next stage in their lives.
Good schools usually receive a short, one-day inspection from Ofsted once every four years. They will only be put through a full school inspection if there is a dramatic fall in performance.

“Over the past few years, many changes at James Brindley have further enhanced the quality of education for pupils. Since the last inspection, tenacious leaders and supportive trustees have focused on providing memorable and influential learning opportunities for all pupils.”
“Over the last few years, behaviour and emotional well-being have been prioritised.”
“Pupils inspectors spoke to said that respecting each other is so important and is what happens at James Brindley every day. Most pupils told us that bullying does not occur, or if it does, the staff are good at dealing with it.”
