What the school inspection says

“The school is a welcoming and inclusive community where girls are encouraged to be curious and creative. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including in the large sixth form. The broad curriculum offers pupils in Key stage 4, and students in the sixth form, a wide range of choices to pursue their interests. The school is determined to ensure that all pupils, especially the most disadvantaged, are prepared well for adult life. Pupils value the diversity of the school and build positive and strong friendships. Leaders want all pupils to understand their place in the world and leave the school as active citizens. The school’s personal development provision is extremely rich and broad in scope. Pupils with Send learn the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.”
