What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 February 2024

Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. They are highly motivated and eager to make the most of school life. The school expects all pupils to adhere to values, such as hard work and respect. Pupils consistently live up to these expectations. They receive an excellent quality of education and, as a result, achieve highly. Pupils conduct themselves in an exemplary manner. They are polite and considerate of others. They behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well. There are extensive opportunities for pupils to take on meaningful leadership roles, such as School and House Captains and prefects. Pupils hold these positions with pride and willingly fulfil the responsibilities they entail. Consequently, they have a highly positive impact on the life of the school. Pupils benefit from a rich offer for their wider development. There is a high uptake of the school's extra-curricular programme. Many pupils participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, 'Combined Cadet Force' and sporting activities. Pupils develop their musical talents through orchestra, barbershop and rock bands, for instance. These, and many other opportunities, make a consistently strong contribution to pupils' personal development.
