What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils, families and staff are proud to be a part of this welcoming and inclusive school community. Pupils are eager to attend every day and are excited about learning new skills and knowledge alongside their friends. Relationships between staff and pupils are exceptionally strong. Adults know pupils well and show genuine care for them. This gives pupils a deep sense of belonging and helps them to feel safe. Leaders and staff have very high expectations of pupils' behaviour and achievement. Pupils live up to these expectations by listening carefully and working hard. Their behaviour is excellent, in and out of lessons. Pupils encourage and support each other. Disruptions to learning are very rare. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve very well across the curriculum. Pupils take full advantage of what the school offers. They appreciate the range of clubs that are provided to them, including, for instance, performing arts, sports clubs and board games club. Pupils also enjoy visits to places of worship and parks in the local area as well as London museums and attractions, such as the Cutty Sark. They leave this school remarkably well prepared for the next stage in their education.
