What the school inspection says

Date of report
2019
Verdict
Good
“The school aims to enable pupils to develop respect for others, self-esteem and the ability to think for themselves. It sets out to help pupils grow in self-confidence, leadership and organisational skills, which reach their academic potential. Pupils have a positive attitude to learning and their study skills develop well over time, underpinned by teachers’ willingness to provide extra support as necessary … A marked characteristic of the pupils is their developing self-confidence and self-esteem as they mature into assured young adults. Pupils show a willingness to undertake responsibility roles in school and carry out their duties cheerfully and efficiently. Pupils of all ages show instinctive tolerance and respect for others, regardless of gender, background, ability or race.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2021 and a routine inspection in 2024.
