Ofsted report
“Overall standards achieved by pupils remain above average. Achievement is exceptionally high in mathematics, English literature and some sciences. Pupils excel in music, French and business studies. We found that the school’s caring, nurturing ethos and culture of high achievement is based firmly on the excellent relations promoted between pupils and staff. Pupils told us that teachers are approachable, know them well and are always there to offer help and support. They value this highly; praising the sense of community it creates and enabling them to feel totally safe, secure and generally free from bullying in the school.”
