What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Good
“Respect and fairness exemplify the culture in this boarding provision. Boarders feel listened to, valued, and like that they have a say in their care. … Many boarders take part in sporting activities run by the school and also belong to clubs in the local community. House parents plan larger activities throughout the school year, such as trips to theme parks, ice skating and activity weekends. … Comprehensive and well-integrated support is in place across the school to support boarders’ physical and emotional wellbeing.”
