The latest sustaining improvement inspection in 2020 was affected by industrial action and no rating was given. The ETI’s report said: “The school development plan is comprehensive and progressive. The senior leaders have set out a clear, strategic and challenging vision for the development work of the school. Over the past three years, pupils have attained consistently high standards in public examinations at both GCSE and A-level. In discussions with the pupils, they spoke of: the wide range of opportunities available to them to develop their talents and attributes; the welcoming ethos of the school and their strong relationships with the teachers and adults who support them; and the breadth of curriculum offer which helps prepare them well for the next stage of their learning.”
