What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

This is a school that has huge ambition for pupils. Pupils join the school from a variety of different backgrounds, but all receive an education that provides them with the best possible start in life. Pupils make exceptional progress through the curriculum. Pupils rapidly learn to read and develop an expansive vocabulary. They develop an excellent understanding of how their knowledge can be applied across different subjects. In the words of one pupil, 'It's like a spider diagram - everything links together.' Pupils are extremely well behaved, polite and well mannered. Pupils have an appetite for learning. They have a real pride in their school and have opportunities to lead and support others. For example, pupils who are members of the Art Council manage a budget and have bought resources to help enthuse other pupils about creative subjects. Pupils never miss a learning opportunity. For example, pupils are given a budget to make and sell items for local charities, such as St. George's Crypt. They then analyse sales data to see how they could improve profits and the amount of money raised. Pupils are safe at the school. They learn how to keep themselves mentally and physically healthy, and they know where they can seek support if needed.
