In April 2025 we were judged by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding' in all categories. The report was overwhelmingly positive about the school and stated “This is a highly aspirational school where pupils truly thrive”.
Our last Diocesan Section 48 Inspection took place in November 2025, which judged the school as “Outstanding” in every category. Both Outstanding judgements were proud moments in the school’s history.

We believe in “learning together” and there is a great emphasis placed on relationships and respect within our community. We have an extremely strong code of conduct, standards of behaviour are outstanding and our students enjoy learning.
