What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 January 2026
All pupils belong and feel that they belong at this highly inclusive school. Adults greet them warmly and cheerfully as they arrive in the morning. Pupils thrive in an environment, where their care and wellbeing are significant priorities for staff. All pupils, but particularly those who are disadvantaged or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well as a result of very effective teaching and support. Pupils clearly enjoy learning. They enthusiastically contribute in lessons or engage positively in paired discussions as they develop their oracy skills. Pupils mostly behave well. Staff have high expectations for behaviour and the school has established routines to support positive behaviour. This contributes to pupils being safe and feeling safe in school. They know that adults can be trusted to help them if they have worries. Pupils insist that bullying is not a problem at their school. The school’s ethos emphasises the values of resilience, respect and relationships. These values are lived out by pupils on a daily basis. Despite being a relatively large school, staff know each pupil individually. They know pupils' strengths as well as any barriers that they may face. The school’s expertise in supporting disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND, means that these pupils achieve well from their starting points. All pupils are very well prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils access a thoroughly planned personal development programme. There is a wide range of extra-curricular clubs available for pupils, such as sports, music and drama. Leaders ensure that disadvantaged pupils are prioritised in accessing this offer. Leadership roles and a wide range of opportunities contribute to pupils developing independence and confidence. Pupils are extremely well prepared to contribute positively to wider British society.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should further strengthen their work to improve the attendance of all pupils with a particular focus on pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. • Leaders should ensure that all pupils show self-discipline and act as role models to others particularly during social and unstructured time.
