OFSTED Report

Until September 2024, on a graded (section 5) inspection, Ofsted gave schools an overall effectiveness grade, in addition to the key and provision judgements. From September 2024 graded inspections will not include an overall effectiveness grade. This school was, before September 2024, judged to be good for its overall effectiveness.  

The latest inspection was carried out in October 2024 when inspectors found that 'Downend School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.'
