What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils excel at this school due to the ambitious curriculum provided and the school's inclusive ethos. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are provided with an excellent education that strongly prepares them for their next steps. Outcomes are exceptionally high, including in the sixth form. The school is driven by its mission to empower 'girls to create their future'. It does this by giving pupils the tools they need to succeed with a rich personal development programme. This has not been hampered, despite the significant impact of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) that the school has had to contend with. Pupils take part in a wide range of enrichment opportunities to gain valuable life experiences. These include trips, workshops, learning to play musical instruments and hearing speakers from different walks of life. Pupils are safe and happy at this school. They behave very well and are committed to their learning. They are courteous and respectful to each other and adults. Where pupils struggle to meet the school's high expectations, staff take prompt and effective action to support them. Sixth-form students take an active role in mentoring younger pupils. They endeavour to be positive role models.
