"Old Colcestrians", include: 2021 and 2022 Ofsted Inspections Following the launch of the Everyone's Invited website, which accused schools across the country of having a "toxic rape culture", a former student made the same accusation of CRGS. These allegations triggered an Ofsted inspection. The inspection found safeguarding to be ineffective and the school was graded "inadequate" overall. In February 2022, a Monitoring Visit from Ofsted found that significant improvements had been made to the school's safeguarding and reporting processes, concluding that "safeguarding is effective" and that "pupils say school is a safe and enjoyable place to be."
