What the school inspection says

“The school has high ambitions of its pupils. Enrichment opportunities run through the veins of the school. Pupils particularly appreciate the high-quality music and performance opportunities. They are very positive about their school. The school has high expectations of pupils’ conduct. In lessons, pupils focus on their learning. Pupils behave respectfully towards one another. When pupils report bullying behaviours, the school acts decisively. An exceptional number of pupils involve themselves in a large pupil leadership programme. The school has designed a broad, ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum. Teachers check what pupils can recall concisely. ”

*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.
