What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils are extremely proud of their school. Leaders promote equality and respect for everyone. Pupils have a good understanding of each other's differences and celebrate them. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Everyone understands the high expectations, including for behaviour. Pupils are highly motivated learners and there is no disruption to learning. They have all chosen trusted adults they can talk to about any worries or concerns. They are happy and safe here. Leaders actively seek pupils' opinions. For example, the 'Inclusion Minister' and 'Environment Minister' of the Pupil Parliament provide suggestions to improve the school. The school expertly plans school visits linked to key themes across the academic year. For example, every year group gets to visit a different place of worship. This helps pupils to build on their understanding of different faiths. Extra-curricular clubs vary from sports, to crafts, yoga and languages. There is a big uptake of these clubs.
