What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils are successful at this school and play a full part in its caring community. They respect the differences between them and treat each other with kindness. Staff are trained well and know pupils very well as individuals. As a result, pupils feel safe here. The school knows the issues that might affect its pupils, and teaches them and their parents and carers about these risks. For example, there are specific sessions for girls in Years 7 to 9 on handling peer and societal pressure. The school has set a high standard for what it expects pupils to achieve. Pupils work hard and ask for help when needed, because they are keen to meet these high expectations. The work pupils produce shows a deep understanding of their learning. This is also seen through the exceptional examination results that pupils achieve. The way in which pupils' character is developed is exceptional. They are taught to empathise with others, and for many this leads to their involvement in community service. For example, pupils in the sixth form volunteer their time to become reading mentors to local primary school pupils. The school takes swift action when bullying is reported and teaches pupils how to maintain healthy friendships. Pupils know the clear routines and rules that are in place to help them behave well.
