What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

Pupils thrive at this caring and aspirational school. They are happy and meet the school's high expectations for their academic achievement and personal development. Pupils have strong and positive relationships with staff. Pupils know that adults in school keep them safe, and if they have any worries, any member of staff will help them. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They listen carefully, are highly motivated and show respect and kindness towards adults and each other. Pupils are confident when sharing their ideas with their peers and can build on each other's learning and explanations. They understand the importance of education and link what they are learning to future careers and opportunities in the wider world. Pupils and their families know the importance of regular attendance. There is a tangible passion for every pupil to succeed and 'aim high in everything they do'. School leaders have designed the 'Bricknell Graduate Programme', which encourages pupils to take on extra learning within a subject area. They 'graduate' by demonstrating their new learning. Activities like this help to develop pupils' perseverance and resilience.
