From the inspection on 11 June 2024

Pupils thrive in this school. They greatly appreciate the phenomenal education they receive, and levels of attendance and punctuality are high. The school has the highest expectations for pupils in every aspect of school life. Pupils achieve very well because they learn from expert staff who teach with clarity and precision. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They build incredibly positive relationships with one another and with staff. Pupils talk with such enthusiasm about school life. Classrooms are abuzz with industrious learning. Pupils broaden their horizons and develop their character during their time at this school. They work with tenacity and resilience and are proud to 'flearn', stating that they cannot learn if they do not fail first. Leaders provide pupils with rich experiences to support not only curriculum learning but also widen their life skills, such as learning to speak Slovakian and to cook. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) participate fully in school life. All pupils thrill in the range of activities available to develop their interests, including extracurricular activities, music tuition and sporting events. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent, summing up the views of many, said, 'Pupils are nurtured and given the skills and knowledge they need to grow and learn.'
