What the school inspection says

“Pupils understand that leaders have high standards and expectations. Pupils and students in the sixth form know that their teachers want the very best for them. This is reinforced in every aspect of school life. The school motto, ‘Together in faith, inspiring achievement’, is evident throughout the school. … Leaders have put a curriculum in place that is well planned and carefully sequenced. The curriculum is broad and covers the full national curriculum. It is ambitious in its scope and aims to build pupils’ knowledge over time … Pupils have opportunities to take part in extra activities outside lessons, including sports and music.”
Inspection
2022
*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.
