Ofsted - Boarding March 2023
The school's provision for residential boarding pupils has been recognised by the Department for Education (DfE) as being of the highest possible standards, in all respects.
In March 2023, inspectors from the DfE's Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) visited the school over three days, as part of a dual inspection covering both the school's educational provision for all pupils, and the provision for boarders. Their reports, published in late April 2023, identify the school to be performing at the highest standards in all aspects of its work.
The dual inspection, of both school and boarding, resulted in three reports: an overall summary of the two inspections, a report on the day provision, and a report on the residential provision.
