What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 March 2025

Pupils receive an exceptional all-round educational experience at this school. Staff have an unstinting drive to achieve the highest success for pupils, whether that is skiing in Pila, appearing on television or performing in a national arena. There is no limit to what pupils can try, taking into account their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils flourish at this school. Many meet and exceed the targets on their education, health and care plans (EHC plans). The friendly and warm ethos provides a supportive learning environment for pupils. Pupils learn how to manage their emotions, how to make friends and how to look after one another. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils have a high regard for the staff. Pupils want to stop and talk and ask about their day. Pupils appreciate the high- fives in corridors and the plentiful smiles. Sixth-form students are proud to mentor younger pupils. Pupils participate fully in all that the school has to offer. The school council, for example, has worked with the University of Portsmouth to design the revamp of a bus into a study space for the pupils to enjoy.
