What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

Pupils thrive in this warm and inclusive school. They are happy and safe in a school where they are known as individuals. Staff take time to find out about pupils' interests and their successes out of school. This helps create a sense of community, where pupils feel they belong. Consequently, pupils enjoy attending school and do so regularly. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable because they share a belief that only the highest standards of conduct are acceptable. Together, staff and pupils foster a climate of respect and positivity. Everyone is welcomed, included and valued. The school has an extremely high level of ambition for all pupils. This is matched in equal measure by pupils' own determination to succeed. Pupils work hard. Pupils achieve exceptionally well, as reflected in published outcomes. Many sixth-form students secure offers from and places at some of the country's most prestigious universities. Pupils' academic learning is enriched by a myriad of opportunities to embrace new interests. Regular productions, concerts and public performances showcase pupils' artistic and musical talent. Pupils proudly represent the school in sporting competitions. Many pupils enjoy life-defining experiences, such as visits to Kenya or the battlefields of Europe or completing their Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
