| Outcomes for pupils | Outstanding |
| Overall effectiveness | Outstanding |
| Leaders and trustees are highly ambitious for pupils and are determined that the school continues to improve. They ensure that all of the independent school standards are met. | Pupils are extremely courteous and respectful to each other and adults. They are highly motivated and have a thirst for learning. Pupils feel very proud of their school. Their attendance is above average. |
| The trustees provide effective support, advice and challenge to senior leaders to ensure that the school continually improves. | Pupils’ behaviour and personal development and welfare are exceptional. Pupils feel safe and are protected well from unsafe situations, including partisan political views, extremism and radicalisation. |
| The headteacher is highly effective in developing a culture that enables pupils and staff to excel. Staff are very motivated and are fully supportive of the leadership. | Pupils display positive attitudes and respect for different people, cultural traditions and faiths. British values are effectively promoted and pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain. |
| Teaching is highly effective. Teachers know individual pupils extremely well and use assessment information effectively to plan challenging and engaging work. | Occasionally, teachers’ expectations of the presentation of pupils’ work is not consistently high, particularly with regard to lower-attaining pupils. |
| Pupils make excellent progress and their attainment across all subjects is exceptionally high. Pupils are prepared very well for their next stage of education. | Sometimes, teachers’ questioning is not sharp enough to help the most able pupils think hard about their work. |
| The curriculum is broad, balanced, engaging and promotes pupils’ high achievement. A wide range of extra-curricular activities enrich the curriculum. | There are insufficient opportunities for teachers to observe teaching in other schools to improve their classroom practice further. |
| The provision for pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent, and reflects the aims of the school. |
