What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 June 2025

Pupils thrive in a nurturing, ambitious and inclusive environment where high expectations are the norm. A culture of excellence underpins a clear vision and strong moral purpose. The school provides a rich and varied curriculum that promotes pupils' personal development exceptionally well. The school is highly successful in supporting pupils to develop compassion and open-mindedness and to become articulate learners. The school enhances pupils' learning by providing carefully planned visits and experiences as part of their 'pupil passport'. Pupils speak of how much they value all of these opportunities and the positive differences that these make. For example, they spoke enthusiastically about a recent trip to the Barbican, where they played their own musical composition. Teachers use their expert subject knowledge to engage and challenge pupils so that they achieve their best. Pupils make exceptional progress. Their attainment is well above national averages in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils are polite, respectful and highly motivated. They show a genuine love of learning and take pride in their work. Pupils' behaviour in class and around the school is excellent. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend regularly.
