What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Leaders have very high expectations of pupils. Pupils embrace these alongside the school aim of ‘academic curiosity’ ... Pupils feel safe and happy … Of particular note is the ethos created by leaders, which encourages pupils to take action on issues they care about. For example, leading campaigns in school about male mental health and violence against women ... Leaders have ensured that what pupils learn goes beyond what is expected by the national curriculum. For example, pupils in Key Stage 3 study two modern foreign languages and Latin ... Teachers use clearly thought-out strategies that are set out for each pupil. This is highly effective in ensuring that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send) reach the same goals as their peers.”
