Academic performance[edit]

A 1999 Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) report called it "a unique and very effective school in many ways". Another, written in March 2005, said it was an "outstanding school with excellent features", and the most recent report said that it "rightly deserves the outstanding reputation it has among parents and in the community". Its GCSE results are excellent, and its A-level results are the best in the Camden LEA outside the private sector.^[7]
