What the school inspection says

“Most pupils feel happy and safe at this school. They enjoy learning. Pupils get on well together and have positive relationships with staff. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to succeed academically. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send), benefit from a high-quality education. Pupils at this school achieve highly. Leaders have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Most pupils meet these expectations. Leaders are thoughtful in their response to bullying incidents and take time to identify and address any underlying concerns. Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum for pupils in key stages 3 and 4, and in the sixth form. However, they have not identified and supported those pupils who struggle with reading well.”
Inspection
2023
*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.
