What the school inspection says

“This school puts pupils at the very heart of its practice. Pupils readily talk about being part of the ‘Edgbarrow family’. They feel safe, are happy and are eager to attend. The curriculum reflects the school’s ethos of ‘enjoy, grow, achieve’ and is thoughtfully designed to match pupils’ interests and needs … Pupils are challenged in their learning without being overwhelmed. As a result, they achieve very highly … One parent, expressing the view of many, said, ‘Edgbarrow School has very high standards and is incredibly supportive in helping my child to achieve their potential.’ ”

2022
*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
