From the inspection on 6 February 2024

All pupils thrive in this unique and empowering school. They experience consistent and high-quality support to become the best they can be. The school has set very high expectations for pupils' academic achievements and their development. Staff relentlessly focus on helping them to meet these exceptional standards in all areas of school life. As a result, the pupils flourish and are equipped to fulfil their aspirations. Pupils live out the 'STAR values' of service, teamwork, ambition and respect daily. They display great care for each other both inside and outside of the classroom. Pupils support each other in lessons by sharing their learning. They engage wholeheartedly in debate and discussion. The school has instilled a culture in which pupils are free to make mistakes and to learn from them. This gives pupils the confidence and resilience they need to prosper. Pupils experience a rich range of activities and trips that enhance the curriculum. They learn in detail about the modern Britain they will encounter as an adult. This includes many outside speakers from different religions and potential employers. Pupils spoke with pride about participating in activities such as raising money for charity, the ambassador roles within school and work with the local eco-park.
