What the school inspection says

Date of report
2021
Verdict *
Good
“Pupils are proud to attend this harmonious community … Pupils show kindness and respect to one another and have no concerns about bullying … Parents and carers are highly appreciative of the school. One parent echoed the thoughts of many by saying, ‘I could not recommend this school more highly, the children are thriving.’ Everyone strives for all-round excellence. Pupils approach all aspects of school life with maturity … [They] value the ‘positive pathways’ reward system. They wear the badges they earn with pride. Sixth-form students play an active role. For example, they enjoy leadership responsibilities, such as wellbeing ambassadors, and run clubs for the younger pupils.”
