What the school inspection says

“Staff set high expectations of pupils. Pupils’ behaviour is often exemplary. In lessons, there is a positive climate of debate and discussion that enriches the learning. Pupils are respectful, articulate and polite … The school offers an extensive wider-development programme. The extracurricular offer is rich and diverse. Many pupils achieve sporting excellence … This school is ambitious for pupils. The curriculum is well planned and sequenced in most subjects … In a minority of subjects, there is still work to do to ensure that the well-planned curriculum is effectively and consistently implemented.”
