We have not yet been inspected since converting to an academy and joining Co-op Academies Trust. Full Ofsted Inspections will be readily available on this page once they have taken place.

Co-op Academy Rathbone converted to academy status in 2025 (previously Earnest Cookson School).

Upon conversion to academy status, the existing school closes and a new school opens in its place.

The academy converter is a new legal entity. Ofsted hosts information about the conversion and other information about the academy here.
