In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
The curriculum is expertly planned, meticulously sequenced and precisely implemented. It is hierarchical, developmental and ambitious.[35]
Warmth
Pupils are proud members of the school community. They appreciate their similarities and celebrate their differences. Pupils are polite and respectful. They are kind and considerate.[35]
Pastoral care
Pupils’ welfare is energetically supported by well-being ambassadors and the Hive facility, which offers exceptional support for pupils’ mental health. They offer training and information sessions for parents on common themes such as self-harm, anxiety and eating disorders.[35]
Behaviour
Pupils’ conduct in classrooms and around the school is calm and orderly. Incidents of bullying and or discriminatory behaviour are extremely rare.[35]
Learning support
Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well catered for. Staff are determined to ensure that they achieve as well as their peers. They are known and encouraged.[35]
Enrichment
Pupils welcome the opportunities offered to broaden their outlook through trips, visits, theatre and residentials as well as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Extra-curricular activities include sport, music and drama as well as a medical society, creative writing, a coding club and the extremely popular cheerleading activities.[35]
Pupil voice
Pupils’ welfare is energetically supported by well-being ambassadors[35]
Collaboration
They show considerable respect and support for their teachers and one another. Sixth-form students act as excellent role models.[35]
Structure
Low-level disruption is not tolerated, so learning is not disrupted. Procedures and practices, detailed in the behaviour policy, are meticulously followed.[35]
