What the school inspection says

Date of report
2024
Verdict *
Outstanding
“The school’s mission is to ‘inspire, empower and shape the future’. Pupils and staff understand that this only happens by focusing as much on personal development as on academic results. The highly ambitious curriculum is designed so that pupils from Year 7 onwards study each subject broadly and deeply. Thanks to consistently high quality teaching, pupils achieve exceptionally well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The impressive extra-curricular programme also allows pupils to enrich their learning outside the classroom but also to develop and discover interests and talents.”
