What the school inspection says

“This is an exceptional school where pupils flourish. The school has the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils in the school, including in the popular sixth form, rise to these expectations at every opportunity. Pupils take great pride in their school, and their behaviour is impeccable. They work hard in lessons and thrive when challenged. They are also supported to develop more widely. The ethos of the school ensures that pupils are taught to be responsible and caring citizens. Pupils with Send are well supported to access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.”
Inspection
2024
*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
