Ofsted judgement: Outstanding in All Areas

Pupils achieve highly in their GCSE examinations and across all qualifications in the sixth form.

Over many years, the school has designed and implemented a highly ambitious curriculum which is delivered expertly.

Pupils participate fully in a varied and high-quality selection of clubs and educational visits.

We are incredibly proud and delighted with the outcome of our latest Ofsted inspection in May 2024

Pupils have a thirst for learning new knowledge and ideas.

All pupils meet leaders’ exceptionally high academic expectations. They strive to learn all that they should.

Leaders have set out very clear behaviour expectations.

Leaders at all levels make intelligent decisions to ensure that excellence is maintained across all areas of the school.

The school supports pupils with SEND very effectively.

In the sixth form, teachers deploy their excellent subject knowledge to stretch academically and support sixth form students to achieve the best academic outcomes possible.
