What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 April 2025

Pupils thrive in this school that promotes respect, courage and kindness. Pupils love coming to school because of the positive atmosphere. It is a place where they feel happy, safe and motivated to perform well. Strong relationships with staff help pupils to feel secure. Pupils understand and meet the high expectations set for their behaviour and academic success. The school's values, rules and inclusive culture create a respectful environment, where kindness and respect are the norm. Pupils appreciate these principles, which are evident in their behaviour and interactions. This contributes to an atmosphere where everyone can flourish and feel valued, particularly pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school develops pupils' character with great care and consideration. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging and are proud to take on responsibilities, such as head boy or girl, be members of the pupil parliament or part of the pupil well-being team. These roles help to promote pupils' responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. Pupils contribute to school improvement by suggesting ideas like playground zones and a lollipop person. This helps to promote a sense of pride and responsibility.
