What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
The school expects nothing but excellence from pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are encouraged to have the highest aspirations for their achievement and for their future careers. They are committed to their studies, showing determination and resilience. As a result, pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve exceptionally well. This ambition extends to the new sixth form, where students thrive in the unashamedly academic environment. They are well supported to develop the confidence and experience necessary to secure prestigious destinations for their next steps in education or employment. Pupils' learning about tolerance and respect is abundantly evident in the positive way that they interact with each other. Staff and pupils develop strong relationships; they warmly greet one another as they move between lessons. Pupils value the ethos of care and compassion that permeates the school. Many pupils and staff told inspectors that the school feels 'like a family'. Pupils make excellent use of the clubs and activities that the school provides to support their wider development. This includes many sports clubs and teams, as well as the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme and the school's own scouts pack. Pupils also benefit from many trips and visiting speakers that enhance their learning and develop their social skills.
