What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Outstanding
“The school’s culture is summarised in its ethos statement: ‘#BeMore’. Pupils and staff embrace this principle in all areas of school life. This means that pupils and students are ambitious, confident, happy and kind. Pupils and students behave exceptionally well and display exemplary character. There is a genuine respect for those with different backgrounds and lifestyles. Pupils feel safe in school; they know they can speak to someone if they are worried or experience any of the rare instances of bullying, and are confident about the school’s response. Leaders have designed a rich and ambitious curriculum for all year groups and for all pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send). Staff and pupils share leaders’ very high expectations and the school’s aspirational ethos.”
