"Throughout the age range, pupils are exceptionally well-educated in line with the school's ambitious aims. The school is highly successful in preparing pupils for public examinations, as well as developing their breadth of knowledge and stimulating independent and enquiring minds. In this way, it has responded effectively to the recommendation of the previous inspection."; "Pupils show unusually-high levels of knowledge, understanding and academic skills, appropriate to their age and ability. Results at GCSE and A-level over recent years have been exceptional, and above the national average for maintained selective schools."; "Strong governance ensures that the school's core values and sense of purpose are maintained and high standards achieved."
