Strengths

• “The school is a welcoming and inclusive community where girls are encouraged to be curious and creative.”
• “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including in the large sixth form.”
• “The broad curriculum offers pupils in key stage 4, and students in the sixth form, a wide range of choices to pursue their interests.”

To improve

• “Most pupils behave well in lessons, although systems to make sure that pupils behave consistently well are not fully embedded.”
• “For instance, the attainment of students by the end of Year 13 in 2023 was below the national average.”
• “Despite this, some subject leaders do not have a precise understanding of how well staff implement the curriculum.”
