"Relationships between staff and pupils and between pupils are strong. Attendance is good and pupils are extremely well behaved both in lessons and as they move around the school. The overwhelming majority of parents share this positive view about the quality of education and care provided by the college. Leadership and management are outstanding. The school has made good use of its specialist status to improve standards and to extend and strengthen its links with the wider community. It is an active partner in many national and local initiatives. It has used its specialisms especially well to broaden its own curriculum and to extend the opportunities for pupils and teachers in partner primary schools in music and sports. The broad curriculum and the creation of a safe and enjoyable learning environment have led to improvements in performance across the college. The college has an accurate view of its strengths and weaknesses, although some departments are less rigorous in reviewing their work, and it is well placed to carry on with this improvement. Governors have a clear understanding of the college's work and provide excellent support. The college makes efficient use of its resources and provides good value for money."
