Our latest Ofsted inspection highlighted the following regarding Personal Development - 50250867 (ofsted.gov.uk): 'The school sets out to help pupils develop their resilience and self-confidence. 'Flourish Fridays' give pupils access to a broad range of challenges and experiences. These include thought-provoking visits, such as going to Greenwich Observatory to kindle their interest in astronomy. This programme helps students in the sixth form to be confident about issues like personal finance, and to make connections with local employers'. The school is expanding, with a growing Sixth Form studying both BTEC and A-Level subjects and new forms added at Year 7 in the last few academic years. We have also recently opened our new dedicated Science Block with purpose-built lab facilities. This presents a tremendous opportunity to further develop our vibrant school community. We want our students, whatever their background or ability, to have the best possible all-round education to prepare them to take their place in society. We pride ourselves on our inclusive approach and seek to promote positive values in all aspects of school life.
