What the school inspection says

“Pupils embrace the school’s values of determination, independence, enthusiasm, confidence and consideration. The curriculum extends beyond the academic and actively fosters pupils’ personal development. Leaders have ensured that all pupils have access to a wide-ranging and rich set of experiences. The school has high expectations and, as a result, pupils achieve highly … there is a wide range of culturally enriching trips, such as visits to the theatre, art galleries and religious buildings. ‘Enrichment Wednesday’ offers sixth-form students many options, including sign language and an extensive range of sporting activities. The provision consistently and extensively supports the health, welfare and wellbeing of all pupils.”
