What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 September 2023

Pupils actively embrace the school's values of respect, integrity, kindness and endeavour. They are courteous to one another and take pride in their work. Poor behaviour is extremely rare, with preventative measures in place to minimise bullying and harassment. Opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests are exceptional and wide- ranging. Disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), speak highly of these opportunities. Care for the most vulnerable pupils is exceptional. Extra-curricular provision is extensive. It covers subject sessions, young journalists, music, dance and drama as well as sporting clubs, including athletics, boxing, fencing and rugby. The valued house system offers many opportunities for active participation. Pupils demonstrate strong values, mutual respect and an authentic understanding of equality and inclusion. Student ambassadors look after younger pupils, and this supports them to feel safe and happy. Students new to the sixth form speak highly of their induction and support. Leaders' high expectations come to fruition, as seen through pupils' impressive academic achievements. The school is swift to act when minor improvements are needed to an aspect of its work. Staff and pupils are immensely proud to be a part of the school.
