Ofsted

“Pupils achieve well in English and GCSE pass rates are above average in sports, the performing arts and work-related subjects. The sixth form is good. Sixth formers are good role models for pupils. An increasing number go on to university. Pupils are well cared for and feel safe. Many behave well, work hard and enjoy their lessons.”
