What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils are very proud of their welcoming and happy school. Staff 'dare' them 'to be remarkable'. Pupils understand that this does not just apply to academic results. Indeed, it is more about their character and becoming a rounded individual. Consequently, they participate enthusiastically in the many extra-curricular activities on offer. They are keen to contribute to the school community and so take on responsibilities willingly. The curriculum is inspiring and academically rigorous. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), embrace the school's high expectations and enjoy learning. They are very successful in public examinations and extremely well prepared for future learning. Pupils' exemplary behaviour contributes to the school's positive culture, as do their thoughtful and respectful relationships with others. Sixth-form students are excellent examples to younger pupils in this regard. Pupils are at the heart of all the school does. Staff know them extremely well as individuals. Pupils feel empowered to speak up because they feel listened to. Parents and carers strongly support the school. They embrace the balance staff have struck between high academic standards and the care shown to pupils' well-being. Many parents spoke of their child 'thriving' at the school.
