Ofsted 2026Ofsted Reports | Children's Corner Childcare Leeds

We are delighted to celebrate the outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection that took place in April 2026. During the two days, inspectors visited lessons, met with staff and students, examined student books and explored the leadership of the school. The inspection was conducted under the new Education Inspection Framework launched earlier this year and is designed to raise the standards expected of schools, with both the areas of inspection and the judgments we are considered against, changing significantly. Whilst it comes as no surprise that Redmoor Academy was well placed to meet these raised expectations, it is still a source of immense pride in our students, our staff and our school as a whole.

This is an excellent achievement and reflects both the strong academic performance of students and the care and support provided by staff.
