What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
This is a school where there are no boundaries to what pupils can achieve. Pupils respond impressively to adults' high expectations, and they work hard to be the best they can be. Pupils overcome their barriers to learning with maturity and determination. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are empowered to have a voice and to use it. In lessons, for example, pupils have the chance to talk and discuss their ideas. This helps them to think deeply and explore the concepts being taught. Pupils communicate very effectively, drawing on the rich vocabulary they learn. The school motto of 'happy and successful' is lived out. Pupils feel safe, enjoy coming to school and their attendance is typically exceptional. They see school as a place to learn and grow, including with their wider personal and social skills. Pupils' conduct around the school, in lessons and at play is excellent. Very clear expectations mean that pupils cooperate well in group tasks and know when to apply their focus and concentrate. During their time in school, pupils learn to value the views and backgrounds of others. They are also supported to develop a strong sense of personal identity.
