What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2022

This is a school where pupils thrive. They are happy and safe. Leaders have high ambitions for the achievement of all pupils. The academic curriculum is broader than the national curriculum. Leaders have very high expectations for the behaviour of pupils in the school and pupils behave exceptionally well. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They are curious learners who work hard in class. Music and singing are at the heart of the school. The Junior House curriculum has a deliberate emphasis on the development of pupils' musical ability. In curriculum music in Years 7 to 9, all pupils learn to play musical instruments. There is a wide range of choirs and orchestral groups where talented pupils blossom. Leaders ensure that all pupils have the same opportunities to access all that the school has to offer. Leaders encourage pupils to become considerate and critical thinkers through their well-established, character-developing curriculum. Students in the sixth form are role models to younger pupils. They support younger pupils by reading with them and organising enrichment clubs and events. Pupils described the school community as a family. Bullying is never tolerated.
