What the school inspection says

Date of report
2015
Verdict *
Outstanding
“The head teacher, together with governors and leaders at all levels, has brought about rapid improvements in the school’s performance since the last inspection ... The students’ achievement in English, mathematics and science is particularly strong ... The many activities outside the classroom are much appreciated by students. Music and sport are particularly strong ... The school promotes students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development exceptionally well. Leaders are very diligent in ensuring that extremism has no place within the school. Students are very well prepared for life in modern Britain.”
