What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
Pupils said they can be themselves at this school. They work hard and achieve exceptionally well, including in the sixth form. This is because staff have consistently high expectations of pupils' work and conduct. Pupils are respectful and polite in their dealings with staff and with each other. They are keen to take part in the school's wide-ranging extra-curricular offer. This enables them to develop resilience and leadership skills. For example, pupils have raised money to support local mental health and homeless charities. Older pupils support their younger peers with their learning. Sixth-form students are excellent role models. Pupils thrive here because they are safe and well cared for. Staff know them well and cater for their individual needs in lessons. Pupils enjoy being part of this diverse school community where difference is valued. Bullying and any use of discriminatory language are rare. One pupil echoed the views of many when he said that they are well-educated in these matters. Pupils understand the importance of treating people from all walks of life with respect. This learning, alongside a well-planned careers programme, prepares pupils extremely well to take their next steps.
