Leaders are ambitious for all their pupils. They encourage pupils to live up to the school's motto, 'onwards and upwards'. Pupils are safe and well cared for by staff. Pupils are attentive and keen to learn. Bullying is rare. Staff deal with any incidents quickly and effectively. Pupils behave with consistently high levels of respect. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, are committed to their learning and achieve highly. They persevere when work is difficult. Attendance of all pupils is excellent. Pupils said that they feel valued and show that they value others. They enjoy school and appreciate the diversity of their school community and its heritage. Pupils are proud of their involvement in school life. For example, sixth-form students like supporting younger pupils with their learning and development.

What the school should improve
- In some subjects, particularly in Years 7 to 9, leaders have not given careful thought to the essential knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember. In computing, teachers do not have sufficient time to teach subject content in depth. This affects pupils' learning and preparation for future study. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is designed coherently. They should ensure that staff have sufficient time to teach all subjects in sufficient depth.
- Assessment is not used consistently well across the school. Leaders do not ensure that staff in all subjects routinely and carefully check pupils' understanding. This means that teachers do not always have an accurate picture of what pupils know and remember, and pupils' misunderstandings can be missed. Leaders must ensure that staff use assessment effectively across the school.
