What the school inspection says

Date of report
2024
Verdict *
Outstanding
”This school nurtures pupils’ talents brilliantly ... Explorers, innovators and creative thinkers, the pupils push the boundaries of what they can achieve at their age. From designing eco-friendly wrapping paper to creating mini vehicles which send medical supplies into war zones, the pupils turn their imaginative ideas into reality. This school is not just about academia. Staff go above and beyond to extend pupils’ interests. The school makes full use of its links with employers and universities. Thus, pupils experience an array of exciting clubs and opportunities. This includes an annual dance show with over 200 participants and 40 music ensembles. Pupils are thriving in this challenging and caring environment.”
