We have high expectations of all our students and we support them with excellent pastoral care. Our extensive Enrichment programme allows pupils to develop into well rounded individuals. In March 2025, Ofsted judged us Outstanding in Behaviour and Attitudes and in Personal Development. We were delighted that they recognised how our “ambitious” curriculum inspired our pupils to be, “ambitious for their futures” within an “inclusive” community in which pupils “can be themselves”.
