Teaching & academics
The ISI judged both the quality of education and pupils' personal development to be "excellent", and all compliance standards were met. The headline Attainment 8 figure of 44.8 sits a little below the national average of 46.9, so the school's strength is best read through the inspectorate's verdict and its generous staffing rather than league-table position alone. The substantial sixth form points to a school geared towards seeing pupils through to university and beyond.
