What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Good
“The school is proud of its diverse community. Its vision is aspirational for all pupils, both academically and in terms of their personal development. It has successfully created a vibrant and inclusive culture. At the heart of this are the positive and respectful relationships between pupils and staff and high standards of behaviour in lessons and around the site … The school has put in place a broad and ambitious curriculum in all key stages. Overall, pupils are keen to learn, and most are successful. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send). Furthermore, almost all make positive transitions to the next phase of their education or training. For a small number of pupils, the school has bespoke curriculum programmes to support their learning.”
