What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Good
“Pupils enjoy attending school. They learn in an environment where positive relationships help everyone flourish. Pupils work hard to achieve the high expectations their teachers have for them. [They] appreciate that they are supported to do their best and their successes are celebrated ... There is a wide range of opportunities to develop interests and talents … Pupils are well behaved, polite and respectful ... They know that difference is never a reason to be unkind, which means this kind of behaviour is rarely seen. [Sixth-form students] feel privileged to take on the role of positive role models for other pupils ... The school has designed an aspirational curriculum that identifies what pupils should know and be able to do at defined moments in time ... However, expectations on occasion are less consistent for written work.”
