The standards that the girls achieve at every level of the school are, quite clearly, very high – "exceptionally high", as the Report states – but we are also very pleased that the good progress that girls make in relation to their prior attainment is recognised – and, in fact, recognised as outstanding in the sixth form. We are pleased that teachers "inspire and motivate pupils" and that the development of independent learning is seen to be actively encouraged. The girls’ personal development is classed as outstanding; and the community is described as "a stable and happy [one] in which pupils feel safe and establish good and supportive relationships with one another and with their teachers." Staff have very good knowledge of individual pupils and their needs, and pupils "flourish". The range of extra-curricular activities is noted as a strength of the school. It is these aspects of the school that make it so special, and I am very pleased that these were identifed by the inspection team. The inspectors also identified a number of areas for further improvement, all of them reflecting the school’s current plans or further developing aspects of current provision. The new School Development Plan will include action plans for these areas. We are particularly keen to continue to improve accommodation in the school – classrooms, indoor sports facilities and sixth form study and resource areas – and will continue to lobby for the necessary capital funding to enable this to happen.
