What the school inspection says

Date of report
2024
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils thrive in the vibrant community of this school. They are ambitious for themselves and what they can achieve, modelled by the high aspirations that staff have for them, but also fostered by an increasing independence as they progress through the school. Lessons are engaging places of learning, where pupils are keen to ask questions and challenge one another’s opinions, founded on the highly secure knowledge and skills they have accrued as a result of exceptional teaching. Relationships across the school are warm and founded on respect. Pupils live out daily the school’s values of responsibility, success and care.”
