What the school inspection says

Date of report
2019
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Leaders and governors provide inspirational leadership that is valued by staff, pupils and parents and carers ... The school has a broad and balanced curriculum that supports pupils’ academic and social development extremely well … The very rich range of additional opportunities promotes strong spiritual, moral, social, cultural and emotional development. This is a real strength of the school. Post-16 provision is well led. The head of sixth form has high expectations for students’ outcomes. Students make good progress from their starting points. However, the amount of progress made is not consistent across all subjects … The school is proud of its inclusive ethos, where every pupil is valued and cared for.”
