What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils are highly academically successful, resilient and respectful here. The school supports pupils to thrive from Reception through until the end of the sixth form. This is reflected in the exceptionally high published outcomes for pupils in Years 6 and 11, and the high-quality work produced by students in the sixth form. Students in the sixth form are also prepared successfully for their next academic steps, including university and apprenticeships. Pupils work hard across all phases and strive successfully to meet the school's high expectations. Pupils relish the challenges that the school provides and believe that they can achieve anything. In the early years, children settle quickly and enjoy their learning. In the sixth form, students are mature and independent. Alongside the school's high academic expectations, it encourages pupils to develop a love of learning and to understand the wider world. Pupils participate fully in high-quality personal development opportunities, which the school carefully tracks. For example, taking part in the school council provides opportunities for pupils to express their opinions and to contribute to school-wide decisions. Pupils from Reception to Year 5 take part in 'family dining' with teachers every lunchtime where they learn to socialise, take turns and tidy away for each other.
