What the school inspection says

“Pupils at this school have a keen desire to do well. They rise to the high expectations set by staff ... The school’s character education programme helps pupils to fulfil their potential and ‘be your best self’ … Leaders have designed a curriculum that is highly ambitious ... In the sixth form, leaders work closely with students to ensure that they are well prepared for university or apprenticeships. Many students move successfully to Russell Group universities.”

2022
*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.
