Ofsted Report

The school was inspected by Ofsted on 15-16 October 2024.  This was an ungraded inspection, but we are delighted that the school was judged to have retained the ‘outstanding’ standards in all areas as identified in our previous inspection. We are immensely proud of our school and are very pleased that the report recognises the hard work and commitment of students, staff and governors.

The Inspectors were very thorough and ensured that the whole school community had an opportunity to contribute to the process. Parents, students and staff were surveyed; lessons were observed and meetings took place with students, staff and governors. The report highlights the exceptional students and staff who make our school a wonderful place to study and work.
