In an Ofsted inspection in 2015 the report classified the school as 'Good with outstanding features'.^[3] The report rated both 'leadership and management' and student 'behaviour and welfare' as Outstanding. The inspectors reported; "There is an exceptional ethos and climate for learning within the school"^[3]
