“Students receive an outstanding education that prepares them extremely well for their future. Most groups of students make consistently outstanding progress and leave with attainment that is well above that found nationally. There is a relentless focus on raising achievement for all students in the school and this is proving very successful. Much of the teaching is outstanding and is never less than good, partly as a result of the sharing of exemplary practice across the school. Teachers have expert subject knowledge and use this well to help students to learn rapidly.”
