What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Leaders are exceedingly ambitious for all pupils and want the very best for them at this school. Staff are dedicated and nurture pupils' interests and talents. Pupils are safe and they treat each other kindly. This is a lively and supportive school community where behaviour is exemplary, and attendance is high. Leaders respond effectively to any instances of bullying that may occur. Pupils participate in a wide variety of additional activities that contribute strongly to their spiritual and cultural development. Sports clubs and teams, drama productions, residential visits and spiritual retreats build strong teamwork and friendships among the pupils. Students in the sixth form are proud to be mental health ambassadors and provide support to younger pupils. The pupil-led diversity committee organises a range of cultural events and celebrations. The school's eco-guardians have successfully campaigned for more trees to be planted in the school grounds. Within the school's local community, pupils' caring attitudes and kindness are encouraged through organising collections for local food banks and raising money for local charities.
