What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

Pupils receive an exceptional quality of education at this school. All pupils, including students in the sixth form, have an impressive thirst for knowledge and success. This is underpinned by a culture of high expectations, compassion and care. Staff and pupils have created an inclusive and welcoming environment. The school's five virtues of 'faith filled', 'attentive', 'intentionally loving', 'truthful' and 'hopeful' are lived every day by pupils, staff and the whole school community. Pupils meet the school's exceptionally high academic standards. Pupils have a strong desire to continually improve upon their previous best. Results from public examinations at GCSE and A level are extremely high. Pupils' attitudes to learning are exceptional and this is evident in the pride they take in their written work. Pupils are encouraged to celebrate differences in society and think of those less fortunate than themselves. The development of pupil character is one of the many strengths of the school. Pupils participate in a wide range and varied selection of activities and educational visits. In the sixth form, all students take part in a range of enrichment activities that complement their academic curriculum. Sixth-form students act as excellent role models for younger pupils, acting as mental health ambassadors and supporting them with their reading.
