What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 March 2025

Pupils flourish here. They are taught to embrace their school's values of dedication, determination and destiny. This supports them to succeed and grow. The school has high expectations for all pupils. The pupils meet these expectations by working hard and, as a result, achieve well. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are polite and respectful. Pupils are proud to be part of an inclusive, caring and supportive community. They share the high expectations that staff have for them and value the support they receive. Pupils told us they feel happy in school and enjoy their learning. They know who to speak to if they have concerns and are confident they will be listened to. On the rare occasions when bullying happens, staff deal with it swiftly and effectively. The school provides a huge range of extra-curricular enrichment activities, careers guidance and trips. Pupils readily embrace these opportunities, enhancing their experience of school life. They regularly attend clubs, including crochet and 'master chef', and compete in sporting events such as netball and basketball. High-quality school theatre productions involve many pupils from different backgrounds. Students relish the responsibility of leadership. For example, sixth-form students organise an annual Eid party, which is attended by over 300 parents, carers and pupils.
