“Pupils benefit from the school’s desire for every pupil to be involved in an ambitious curriculum, in and out of the classroom ... Pupils are respectful, polite and articulate. They attend well, are prompt to lessons and are quick to focus on their work. This means that pupils learn exceptionally well, achieve highly in examinations and leave school very well prepared for life in modern Britain … Pupils read regularly. Leaders encourage pupils to read demanding texts to further develop their knowledge and understanding of subjects. Pupils told inspectors they enjoyed the challenges that this brings.”
