What the school inspection says

Date of report
2023
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils achieve highly at this stunning school. They are challenged by the broad and ambitious curriculum that staff expertly deliver. Pupils respond well in lessons. They are articulate and express their opinions in a thoughtful and mature manner. Behaviour is exemplary in lessons and around the school. There is little bullying because this does not fit with their respectful attitudes. Sixth-formers are excellent role models for the younger pupils. Many run extracurricular clubs and organise school events with governors and staff. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. One parent summed up the school: ‘It gives children the confidence to try things, the desire to do their best and the discipline to help them succeed.’”
