What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils enjoy attending a school that is established on a strong set of values and principles. The school sets exceptionally high standards. Pupils are proud to rise to them. During family dining, pupils serve one another and clean their areas. They welcome visitors and offer to serve them too. Pupils' manners and behaviour are impressive. Their care for one another shines through. Pupils share thoughtful remarks about peers and teachers. For example, they commend others publicly once lunch service is complete. Pupils' published outcomes in national examinations have been extremely high over a sustained period. Pupils become experts in the subjects they learn. They enjoy consistently high-quality teaching from subject specialists. Pupils also engage in regular university-style lectures. These teach them an important way of learning. Lectures also help to expand pupils' knowledge, allowing them to flourish independently across the curriculum. The school surrounds pupils' highly focused academic experience with wider opportunities and support. Pupils value the 'Mountain Rescue' team, whose members provide specialist wraparound care. Pupils also enjoy 'climb' sessions. Here, a varied learning programme, including team building activities, enhance their education. An exciting enrichment offer includes music lessons for all, sport and much more. This enables pupils to discover their unique talents and interests.
