The school achieved ‘Exceptional’ judgements in Achievement, Attendance and behaviour, Curriculum and teaching, Leadership and governance, Personal development and wellbeing, and Post-16 provision. It also earned a ‘Strong standard’ in Inclusion.

What it’s like to be a pupil at this school: ‘Pupils are provided with a world-class educational experience that inspires them to be the best they can be. They are happy and proud to be part of this community’.

Among many other highlights, the report notes:

  • Achievement‘Pupils’ achievement is superb’.
  • Attendance and behaviour‘Leaders have embedded a phenomenal learning culture across the school’.
  • Curriculum and teaching‘The school’s curriculum is of an exceptionally high quality’.
  • Inclusion‘There is a highly inclusive culture, which underpins the ethos of the school’.
  • Leadership and governance‘Leaders, including governors, have established a remarkable school’.
  • Personal development and wellbeing‘Building pupils’ character and self-esteem is a strength of the school’.
  • Post-16 provision‘The personal development and pastoral programme in the sixth form is equally as impressive as the academic offer’.

Further information about the changes to the Ofsted Inspection Framework

Under the new framework launched in November 2025, Ofsted no longer gives schools a single overall grade following inspection. Instead, schools receive an online report card that grades the school in seven areas: Attendance and behaviour, Curriculum and teaching, Inclusion, Leadership and governance, Personal development and wellbeing, Post-16 provision, and Safeguarding.

Each of the seven areas is evaluated and graded as either: Urgent improvement, Needs attention, Expected standard, Strong standard or Exceptional. The Safeguarding category is judged as either Met or Not Met.
