What the school inspection says

Date of report
2021
Verdict *
Good
“Pupils are very happy in the school. They feel a huge sense of loyalty. Those who join the school in the sixth form say the same. Leaders have very high expectations of pupils to which they respond willingly. Behaviour is impeccable. Staff have taught pupils about the negative impact of banter. In some subject curriculums, teachers need to think more carefully about how to teach their subjects as well as what to teach. In a minority of cases, the ability of pupils is not reflected in the teaching, and standards are set too low. The personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education curriculum provides age-appropriate training on positive relationships, financial planning, diversity and topics such as the Covid-19 pandemic and Ofsted’s sexual abuse review. Pupils engage well with the information presented. It is clear from pupils’ social interactions that they are maturing into highly responsible young people.”
