The teachers give helpful advice to the girls during lessons about how to make further progress, and marking of their assessments is detailed and specific.

Daily marking is inconsistent in its regularity and quality.

The progress of all groups of girls is excellent because much teaching is outstanding and caters particularly well for their individual needs.

The sixth form is good and rapidly improving, with teaching that is equally as strong as in the rest of the school and a range of courses that meet very well the needs of all the girls.

The headteacher leads astutely the very effective work of leaders and managers at all levels. Together with the governing body, they focus on achieving even higher standards of teaching, to make sure that all of the girls continue to achieve very well.

The girls feel very safe because the school knows them all, values them all and has very good systems to look after their individual needs and to help to keep them safe.

The school has identified areas of improvement in various aspects, including the sixth form, quality of daily marking, and further enhancing teaching standards.
