Overall, our students and parents are very satisfied with the school performance and 99% would recommend the school.
Year 7 students and VI Form girls gave the School the highest scores. Therefore, they are the most satisfied with the overall School performance. The year 7 children and the girls currently at the School would recommend the School to others more than any other group of pupils.
