Present Day and OFSTED
King Charles I School is a specialist science college, and renewed their specialist status in September 2009.
In September 2011, King Charles I School was inspected by OFSTED inspectors during a 2 day section 5 inspection. The inspection deemed the school to be "Good, grade 2" (1 being outstanding, 2 good, 3 satisfactory & 4 inadequate), stating "King Charles 1 is a good school that puts students at the heart of everything it does". However, the inspectors lowered the previous grade of the Sixth Form from "Good" in the 2008 report, to "Satisfactory", stating "standards have fluctuated since the school was last inspected but students make satisfactory progress".
