What the school inspection says

“The school aims to realise the potential of each pupil by providing challenge, encouraging and promoting teamwork, and developing leadership capabilities. It aspires for its pupils to leave as self-confident young people with the knowledge, skills and attributes to allow them to lead a happy and fulfilled life, and make a difference for good in the wider community … Pupils achieve at an exceptional standard in sport … Standards in music and the performing arts are good ... They are unafraid to accept risk, to be academically adventurous, or to take on challenges. Pupils display strong perseverance if challenged by difficult work.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2019 and a routine inspection in 2024.
