The expectation is that all students leaving Judd will have gained success academically, achieved a well-balanced and confident approach to life and will be prepared for the challenges of leadership in the 21st century. Ofsted graded the school as outstanding in all categories in May 2015. The school was designated a Specialist Music College (with Mathematics) in September 2004 and became a High Performing Specialist School in October 2007 (taking Science as its second specialism).

These include Chess Club, Christian Union, French Club, Greek Club, Theatre Club, LGBT+, Voluntary Service Unit, Engineers' Club, Young Enterprise, Potions Club, Puzzle Club, Ancient History Society, Medical Society, Debating and various subject-specific clubs/clinics. Students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and many achieve Silver and Gold Awards before leaving school. Pass rates are consistently high; in 2018 more than a quarter of all A level results were graded A, repeating the previous year's success. Overall, 85% of grades were A - B. In GCSE more than half of all entries were graded A*, 8 or 9 (a record fifth year in succession). The school has regularly featured in the national newspapers as one of the top state schools in the country. Ofsted has always judged the school to be outstanding. The school has a very strong record of university entry, including Oxford and Cambridge (over 20 successful applicants in the last two years), and over 95 per cent of Upper Sixth leavers each year enter universities for degree courses. The Governors award a major scholarship and up to four leaving exhibitions to outstanding Sixth Formers going on to university. Each year, two students are apprenticed to the Skinners' Company.
