What the school inspection says

“The pupils are highly motivated, articulate and show a very strong sense of pride in their school. They co-operate well with each other and with their teachers and have good social skills. Their behaviour is almost always exemplary. They work independently and, when given the opportunity, they participate appropriately in the planning and organising of tasks and contribute well to group and whole class discussions. In most classes the teachers set realistically high expectations and monitor the work effectively, consequently the pupils present their work to a high standard. The pupils have excellent opportunities to engage in a wide range of sporting, social, cultural and international extracurricular activities which add significantly to their overall education experience.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
