What the school inspection says

“Pupils, including students in the sixth form, do well academically in this school. They live up to the high expectations that the school sets for their achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send), benefit from an ambitious and well-structured curriculum … The school’s ‘leadership ladder’ incentive encourages pupils to take part in a wide range of extracurricular activities … Pupils benefit from a vast range of trips and visits that enrich their knowledge beyond the curriculum.”

2024
*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.
