Strengths
- “This is a school with big ambitions.”
- “It realises these in a highly effective manner.”
- “The school is determined to ensure that its pupils receive the best education.”
To improve
- “There are a small number of subjects in which published outcomes do not reflect the exceptional quality of education that the school provides.”
- “This is because, at present, the sixthform provision, including the subjects and extra-curricular activities on offer, does not fully support students’ progression into the next stages of their education.”
