What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

This school provides pupils with an exceptional education. It strives for 'the best in everyone' and has high academic ambitions for all pupils. This is reflected in everything that the school does. As a result, pupils achieve impressive academic success, reflected in their examination results. Pupils conduct themselves in an exemplary manner. The school sets high expectations for pupils' behaviour alongside offering high-quality pastoral support. Dedicated staff work tirelessly to create an environment where mutual respect and strong relationships are the norm. On rare occasions that conduct falls below expectations, adults deal with it swiftly. The school does not tolerate any form of bullying. Consequently, learning is rarely interrupted, and pupils feel safe in school. The school's personal development programme is highly effective. The extended school day includes an enrichment programme that allows pupils to choose from a huge range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests or learn new skills. This includes lessons in Latin and Welsh, astronomy, cheerleading, chess, to name but a few. Pupils benefit from many opportunities to participate in the performing arts, sporting activities and other cultural experiences, including overseas. The school supports high numbers of pupils to engage with these opportunities.
