What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Good
“Many pupils and staff are proud of their school and the way in which it respects and reflects the diversity of their community. Most pupils work hard in lessons as they want to fulfil the school’s high aspirations the school has for them … All pupils now benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum. The number of pupils following the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) group of qualifications is rapidly rising … The ‘home room’ model means pupils spend many of their lessons in the same room within their year ‘hub’ but also get to use specialist spaces for practical and creative subjects … Pupils value the real-life scenarios used in their ‘character’ lessons and how these help them learn about how to stay safe, value difference and have healthy relationships. Many pupils attend the range of extracurricular clubs on offer.”
