What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
Pupils are proud to belong to this exceptional school. Leaders have created a wonderfully caring and supportive environment where everyone is respected. Relationships between staff and pupils are excellent. Pupils are taught that respecting others should be central to how they behave. This is modelled by all staff. In the words of one pupil, 'I am proud to come to this school because everyone is kind here'. There is no bullying here. If pupils are struggling with behaviour, due to their additional needs, staff support them quickly and effectively. Leaders give pupils wide and exciting opportunities to learn and develop. Alongside a well-planned curriculum for learning, they are given opportunities to take part in sporting events at Gateshead Stadium, sing on stage at the Sage theatre and visit places such as London or the Lake District. These visits are planned to inform pupils and encourage them to be brave and adventurous. Pupils thrive on these experiences. Leaders are highly ambitious for pupils' academic success. They ensure that pupils get an outstanding education at this school. Pupils remember what they have been taught in past years and talk about current learning with enthusiasm and interest.
