What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils are ambitious and confident. They enjoy studying a wide range of subjects. For example, pupils study Latin, Oracy and philosophy, religion and ethics from Year 7. The school has set high academic expectations for what all pupils can achieve. This includes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils thrive here, are kept safe and achieve highly across the curriculum. … The curriculum extends well beyond the academic to one which encourages wider personal achievement. There are an exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular activities available. These include astronomy, African drumming, textiles and lots of sports clubs.”
