Ofsted

OfstedWe are very proud to share that, following a two-day visit in December 2023, Ofsted inspectors have found that we continue to be Outstanding. Last year, fewer than a fifth of schools which had previously been judged Outstanding maintained this grade. 

You can read the full report here

Inspectors were impressed by a number of areas of our Academy particularly the strength of our curriculum and extracurricular programme, our pastoral support and, importantly, our students’ extremely positive attitudes to learning

Describing our school as ‘exceptional’, the inspectors have found strong evidence to show how our students thrive here. We are very proud of this report and of what our students achieve during their time with us.

This judgement would not have been possible without our fantastic team of staff who are determined that every single one of our students receives the very best school experience. On behalf of our students and their families, we would like to thank our staff for their dedication, creativity and hard work.

Jo Young, Principal
