What the school inspection says

“The school’s aim is to encourage, inspire, challenge and support pupils to fulfil their potential in a community founded on Catholic Christian values … [and] for all pupils to go on to become creators of a more just and peaceful society ... Pupils have a strong focus in lessons and work positively both as independent and collaborative learners ... display a good knowledge in all their subjects and apply this to new learning situations effectively … Pupils make strong progress and achieve results in examinations that exceed the expectations of their predictions, though not always reaching their full potential ... [They] are confident and resilient individuals and have an excellent understanding of what is needed for the next stage of their lives.”
