Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Leaders and staff have the highest expectations for all pupils. Teachers demand the best from their pupils. The curriculum is highly ambitious. Pupils develop a deep understanding of the subjects they study over time. As a result, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Sixth-form students benefit from a wide range of A-level and vocational courses on offer. … Pupils are welcoming and polite. They relish the opportunity to discuss their views with adults. … Leaders have planned a well-thought-out curriculum. Leaders have reviewed the curriculum and made changes so that it suits the local context. In religious studies, for example, pupils study a range of religions. As a result, they have a deep appreciation for the multi-faith community in which they live.”
