In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
Leaders enable this by providing pupils with a broad and highly ambitious curriculum, which includes a range of academic and creative subjects.[15]
Warmth
Pupils are happy in school. They enjoy their learning immensely. Leaders have created an inclusive community, where all pupils feel valued.[15]
Behaviour
Their attitude to learning is exceptional. Pupils waste no time settling down to the task in hand and consistently produce work of a high standard. Lessons are calm and pupils focus on their learning.[15]
Learning support
Leaders are quick to identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).[15]
Enrichment
The provision for pupils’ personal development is exemplary, with clear emphasis given to developing pupils’ character and wider skills. In Year 9, all pupils undertake the Duke of Edinburgh’s programme. This is complemented further by an impressive range of extra-curricular clubs and activities.[15]
Structure
Staff have consistently high expectations of behaviour and pupils rise to meet these.[15]
Diversity
Pupils celebrate the diversity of their school. They told inspectors that everyone is treated fairly and equally.[15]
