Ofsted

Lister Community School was inspected by Ofsted on 8th and 9th October 2024. Our previous inspection took place in December 2018, and since then the school has faced a number of challenges.

We are pleased to report that Ofsted confirmed that Lister Community School continues to be graded GOOD, noting that the school ‘has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection’.
