We are proud that Ofsted recently judged the school to be Outstanding in all areas. The report states; “This
is a large and diverse school where difference is valued. Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are supportive
and respectful of each other. Pupils’ conduct is exemplary, both inside lessons and around the school.
Leaders have established simple and clear rules that everyone understands. Pupils are focused, engaged and
participate well in lessons. Staff feel that their workload and well-being has been carefully considered by
leaders. They appreciate their open-door policy”. (Ofsted, February 2024)
