What the school inspection says

The quality of education, behaviour and attitudes and sixth-form provision were judged outstanding. “Leaders ensure that all pupils, including sixth-form students, benefit from very high quality education. They make sure that the curriculum is well organised and planned so that pupils learn key information at the right time. Pupils work hard to be the best they can be. They enjoy learning … Students in the sixth form benefit from a range of rich experiences. These build their character, support them in their next steps and prepare them well for adult life. However, leaders have only recently begun to ensure that all pupils have high-quality, impartial careers advice and guidance.”

*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.
