What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

Staff at this school are passionate and highly dedicated. Pupils benefit from the strong emphasis placed on personal development as well as academic excellence. This results in them being able to talk confidently about their educational experiences and their aspirations for the future. The school has exceptionally high expectations for all pupils. These are reflected in consistently high published outcomes. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make very strong progress and play a full part in the life of the school. Staff are skilled at eliciting highly respectful and courteous relationships with pupils. Pupils respond by being highly inclusive and kind to peers. Excellent systems ensure that pupils have detailed knowledge about who they can speak to and how to stay safe. The school provides an array of tailored extra activities to meet pupils' interests. These include both sports and creative opportunities. For example, taking part in the very popular Duke of Edinburgh Award and going on many university visits. Pupils can take up an impressive range of leadership responsibilities, such as supporting younger pupils with their reading or being a sports coach. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage in their education, training or employment.
