What the school inspection says

”Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. The shared ambition of supporting pupils to feel ’happy, safe and challenged’ is realised fully … a studious culture pervades the school. Everyone benefits from carefully planned activities that build pupils’ character ... Pupils make excellent use of the extensive range of extracurricular activities ... musical theatre society, Mandarin club, medical society, chess club and many more ... The curriculum is meticulously planned. Staff are relentless in their pursuit of excellence for all pupils ... Behaviour is impeccable ... The wider personal development of pupils is a shining strength.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
