“Founded on Methodist principles, the school’s mission is to unlock the full potential of every pupil, through the modelling of strong Christian values and honesty to learn from their own flaws, while treating others with compassion. The quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent … Pupils’ achievement in extracurricular activities such as music, drama, dance, athletics and sport are excellent. They develop individual strengths and talents in these areas due to the support provided from boarding and specialist staff. Pupils of all abilities have extremely positive attitudes to learning due to staff encouragement and a culture of ‘can do’ across the school. Pupils have outstanding self-esteem and self-confidence for their age. They demonstrate excellent social skills.” There was a short visit in 2023 and a routine inspection in 2024.
