Ofsted’s inspection on 9th and 10th September 2026 recognised clear improvements at Dodworth St John the Baptist’s CE Primary Academy and confirmed that our school meets the high national standards for education and care across every area evaluated.
The school achieved the Expected standard in all seven areas, and safeguarding standards are met.
We are proud that inspectors recognised our pupils’ happiness and sense of belonging, the positive start children make in early years, and the effective support that helps pupils with additional needs take a full part in school life. These findings reflect the commitment of our staff and the partnership between school and families.
