What the school inspection says

“Pupils are happy and successful at this caring and ambitious school. They work well together, listening and contributing thoughtfully in lessons and form time. Pupils display a sense of purpose and rise to the high aspirations that the school has for them ... Most pupils take advantage of the wide range of extracurricular activities on offer. From drama and music to sports and Combined Cadet Force and overseas trips, there is something for everyone. Pupils appreciate the range and variety ... The school has established an ambitious curriculum that meets the needs of pupils ... There is clear ambition for all, but this is not realised as securely for disadvantaged pupils ... The work to support pupils’ personal development is well considered. It is matched to the needs of pupils and the local context.”
Inspection
2025
*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.
