Ofsted inspected our school in March 2025 and found that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and Sixth Form provision are all Good. The inspectors found that the school has high expectations of students’ behaviour and their attitudes to learning, all staff and governors share strong priorities, and the school is taking the right action to raise standards of achievement across the school.   The inspection identified that students are proud of our school and its diversity, feel safe and supported, and have a strong sense of community.
