What the school inspection says

“Pupils know, from the moment they walk through the gates, that the highest standards of work and behaviour will be expected from them. They also know that they will be well supported in reaching those standards. There are warm relationships between staff and pupils and wide-ranging support services. Pupils are happy at school, enjoy their learning and achieve exceptionally well. Lessons are challenging. Teachers expect pupils to understand and use precise subject language. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are courteous and helpful. School leaders have the highest ambition for the success of every pupil. Heads of department are enthusiastic and passionate about their subjects.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
