In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to do well. This results in strong examination outcomes.[35]
Warmth
New pupils in Year 7 receive a warm welcome. Older pupils support younger ones, which helps them to settle in quickly. They feel part of the wider Hasmonean community.[35]
Pastoral care
Pupils are safe and well cared for. They know that if they have a concern, there are adults with whom they can talk.[35]
Behaviour
Typically, pupils behave well around the school. In a small proportion of lessons, there are minor disruptions. This affects pupils’ learning.[35]
Learning support
Leaders make sure that they identify the needs of pupils with SEND accurately.[35]
Enrichment
Leaders provide a varied offer of clubs and activities. These include table tennis, computer coding and music clubs. They also provide a wide range of visits, for example to Poland, Belgium and Scotland.[35]
Collaboration
This helps to create a sense of community at the school, in which pupils get along well with each other.[35]
