[2] Opportunities for student development include High Achievers and Enrichment Programmes such as Duke of Edinburgh, MedSoc, work experience, learning languages such as Mandarin and other notable societies. [3] In its latest Ofsted inspection, Carmel was judged to be "outstanding in all aspects of its provision." Also noted as being the 9th best in the UK.
During 30 April–3 May 2019, Ofsted inspected Carmel College and it achieved an overall rating of Outstanding, [4] a rating it has held since 2002.
