What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils, including students in the sixth form, experience a high quality of education … Pupils are very happy and highly enthusiastic about attending school … [and] demonstrate mature attitudes to learning ... The six ‘Ricky Rs’ [be responsible, resourceful, resilient, reflective, show respect, form positive relationships] form the backbone of the school’s culture. Staff reward pupils when they demonstrate these values. This results in pupils becoming resourceful and resilient individuals. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary ... A highly ambitious curriculum is in place for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send).”
