Students’ personal development is outstanding because of the excellent care and guidance that they receive. They show a high level of enjoyment in what the school has to offer...Older students make excellent contributions to the social and academic well-being of others in their family groupings...They offer outstanding contributions to the life of the school.”

An interim assessment carried out by Ofsted in March 2011 confirmed that the school is still Outstanding.
