Ofsted November 2024

In November 2024, Seymour received a Section 8 inspection. This means it was an ungraded inspection, therefore our grading did not change from GOOD.

During the inspection, we received the highest possible outcome, meaning that if it were a section 5 inspection, we might be outstanding. Throughout the inspection, our practice was deemed exceptional.
