“The school aims to be a highly academic school where individual and corporate excellence is promoted. It considers the dialogue between teacher and their pupils to be central to its ethos, thus aiming to inspire passion for learning … It is committed to a liberal tradition which nurtures each pupil’s development. Pupils develop exceptionally strong knowledge, skills and understanding across all areas, enabled by highly developed skills and attitudes to learning, which they are able to apply expertly. They demonstrate extremely high levels of political awareness and understanding for their age and debate contemporary issues with high levels of articulacy. Pupils develop very high levels of self-confidence, self-reliance and resilience, listen to others intently in all aspects of their school lives, and are confident to express their views.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2019, short visits in 2021 and 2022 and a routine inspection in 2024.
