What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2023
Pupils are extremely positive about their learning at this school. All pupils achieve highly. Through all that they do, the school encourages pupils to follow the school's values of respect, resilience, kindness and honesty. The school's behaviour expectations are very clear. The school has established a positive culture where everyone is treated with equal respect regardless of their background. Pupils are safe. They can and do speak to an adult when they need to. Students in the sixth form work hard, behave maturely and act as role models for younger pupils. The school inspires pupils to develop their social skills and personal interests at clubs including competitive sports, coding, debating and music. Pupils take on many leadership roles, including as behaviour and anti-bullying ambassadors, and sports and house captains. Enrichment classes in philosophy for students in the sixth form help them to prepare for their next steps in education. Pupils participate extensively in charity work and build links with the local community. For example, during festive periods, all year groups create food hampers which pupils deliver to the homes of the elderly.
