What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

Pupils flourish here. They are very proud to be part of this strong and caring school community. The school has high expectations for all pupils to succeed and grow into knowledgeable and confident individuals. Together, staff work extremely hard to ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. In doing so, pupils are supported to be the best they can be. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are caring and supportive of each other. They are also polite and respectful. Pupils have for themselves the same high expectations that the school has for them and appreciate the school's support. Pupils said that they feel safe here. They know who to speak to if they have any concerns. Pupils are provided with a wide range of opportunities to enrich their learning experiences beyond the classroom. There is a plentiful range of extra-curricular clubs and activities to choose here. This greatly enriches pupils' personal development and experience of school life. There are 45 educational outings arranged each year, many for whole year groups and one third of the pupils have instrumental music lessons. The whole of Year 9 also takes part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.
