What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 September 2022

Leaders and staff deliver an exceptional education here. Leaders have created a climate where everyone excels. Leaders and staff strive for the very highest standards. As a result, pupils thrive in a culture of high expectations. Pupils' achievement motivates them to learn and discover more. Leaders ensure everyone is valued. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and the atmosphere is warm. Professional relationships between pupils and staff are respectful. This creates a harmonious and collaborative community. Teachers are subject experts and work hard to promote pupils' academic success and their well-being. Pupils are very proud of the school and almost all stay on to continue their studies in the sixth form. All pupils rise to the challenge of the school's motto, 'Not for self, but for all', and work hard to contribute to the whole school community. Pupils volunteer regularly in the local community. For example, they support primary-age pupils in their learning and they take part in charitable work. Pupils are safe in the school and know that staff are there to support them should they have any concerns. Staff deal with any reported incidents of bullying swiftly and sensitively.
