What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils love coming to school regularly. They enjoy their lessons, and are especially proud of their library near the playground. They make full use of it, including at lunchtimes. Pupils really appreciate the rewards for good attendance, such as a visit to the local 'Star City'. The school's vision is 'to achieve excellence'. It wants the very best for all to achieve the very highest of standards possible. The school lives up to this aim. Pupils do very well in tests and assessments in reading, writing and mathematics, regardless of their different starting points or backgrounds. This includes for those who find learning difficult and need additional support. Pupils behave very well in lessons and around school. They have very positive relationships with each other. They respect those with different faiths and views. The 'peer mediators' are available every breaktime to resolve any issues. Pupils feel safe. They know how to keep themselves safe through the regular e-safety lessons in every year group and learning to swim. Pupils appreciate the many wider curriculum opportunities, such as local trips linked to each subject area. These include Twycross Zoo (science) and 'Birmingham Back to Backs' (history) to see how people used to live.
