“[Pupils] talk passionately about what the school offers them … As pupils travel through the school, teachers challenge them more and more. Staff’s expectations of what pupils can achieve are especially ambitious for older pupils. Leaders make sure that the school is not just about academic achievement.  Pupils enthusiastically take part in the many and diverse range of activities on offer. Older pupils help staff to run clubs and societies. Prefects make a strong contribution to school life … Many parents commented on how much their children have gained from their education … Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send) receive thoughtful and individualised support … Sport is an important part of the offer but there are plenty of other interests pupils can pursue.”
