Verdict *
Good
“This is a school where pupils flourish, both personally and in their academic studies. Pupils are polite, friendly and respectful to all. They have high aspirations for themselves. Leaders ensure that all staff commit to helping pupils fulfil those aspirations. Pupils achieve well and secure places at renowned universities ... Teachers share enthusiasm for their subjects with pupils. Pupils work hard and learn in depth ... Music and drama play a significant role in the life of the school ... Leaders identify pupils’ needs well … Pupils learn without disruption ... However, sometimes leaders are too slow to address pupils’ attendance when it begins to fall below expectations.”
