What the school inspection says

Date of report
2024
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils are happy and safe. Their behaviour is impeccable. They consistently live up to the school’s high expectations of their conduct, in and outside of the classroom. Pupils have warm, respectful relationships with each other, and with staff. As a result, a positive and considerate atmosphere pervades the school. Pupils make a highly-active contribution to the school and wider community. … Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities. They make good use of these. Many pupils participate in musical groups and events, such as concerts and music tours abroad. There are lots of different clubs and societies. For example, pupils attend drama, gardening and cyber clubs. Sixth-form students attend the medical society or debating society.”
