What the school inspection says

“The school’s vision is to ‘create brilliant futures’ and this drives all areas of school life. The ‘Cotswold Way’ clearly sets out the school’s high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils hold themselves to these standards, enjoying their learning and showing courteous and respectful behaviour towards each other. The school’s curriculum is highly ambitious for all pupils. Within each subject, it is clear what pupils will learn as well as how their wider thirst for knowledge will be encouraged. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe and look after their physical and mental health.”
Inspection
2025
*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.
