Verdict *
Outstanding
“Students make excellent progress and their GCSE and A-level examination results are above the national average. Teachers have high expectations and the quality of teaching over time has been effective in maintaining students’ excellent progress. Teaching is good, with approximately half that is outstanding ... Students feel safe and praise the many ‘focus days’ activities that provide detailed information on how to keep safe in different situations ... The curriculum is exemplary and the various subjects and topics develop students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well ... Only girls attend the school in Key Stages 3 and 4.”
