90% agreeOfsted inspected The Grange School on 30 June 2026 using a report card, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade. The school met Ofsted's safeguarding standards. It was graded Strong standard for early years; Expected standard for curriculum and teaching, for inclusion, for leadership and governance, for personal development and wellbeing and for attendance and behaviour; Needs attention for achievement.
No. Distance only counts when The Grange School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
The Grange School had 1,190 pupils aged 3 to 16 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 1,320. It is a mixed school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
