Inspection Report Summary

The report gave the following overall conclusion about the quality of education provided by the school.

"High quality governance and the strong leadership of the headmistress, together with her senior colleagues, ensure that the school meets its aims. Pupils in both sections of the school achieve good and frequently outstanding standards in the subjects they study and in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including drama, music and sport. Such achievement is due to high quality teaching and effective systems to support pupils in their learning. Pupils of all ages are motivated, have a serious work ethic and approach school life with enjoyment. Their personal development is outstanding. Good relationships between staff and pupils and among pupils themselves combine to support girls as they grow into young women who are articulate, thoughtful, assured and have high self-esteem. Conscientious staff provide a supportive atmosphere in which pastoral care is outstanding and each pupil feels respected and valued. The Christian ethos of the school is central and pupils have a highly developed sense of service in the wider community. Parents are extremely satisfied with the education provided, and pupils are appreciative of the opportunities which are made available to them."
