What the school inspection says

“This is a highly inclusive school that provides an exceptional education for the pupils. Leaders have extremely high expectations for all. This ensures that all pupils, including those with Send, can thrive. Working relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils are proud of their community and create a positive and welcoming environment. Although the school continues to grow in size, staff know all their pupils individually. Pupils have access to a wide range of extra opportunities in the school… [and] most make strong use of the wide range of clubs on offer. [They] can also access a rate of leadership opportunities, including student ambassadors and eco club. In the sixth form, students support younger pupils through responsibilities including peer readers and mathematics tutors. Leaders have developed a highly ambitious curriculum for all pupils in the school.”
