What the school inspection says

“Pupils are very proud to attend this diverse and welcoming school. Pupils embrace difference and celebrate the rights and opinions of others. They leave the school as well-rounded, independent and ambitious young adults ... Leaders have established a culture of high achievement, respect and participation ... Pupils enjoy and appreciate the many extracurricular opportunities available to them. Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) is not as well developed ... Sixth-form students are concerned that CEIAG is biased towards science, technology and mathematics subjects.”
