Date of report

Verdict *
Outstanding
“Leaders have extremely high expectations of pupils ... Pupils say that the school has developed their confidence and interests beyond their academic studies. Parents and carers agree ... The curriculum is rigorous and ambitious for all pupils, with academic subjects at the heart ... Pupils develop their talents through myriad extracurricular activities. These include sports teams, several music clubs, and clubs for computer coding, philosophy and pottery. The tenets of the Christian faith are integral to the life of the school and contribute strongly to pupils’ moral and social development.”
