What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 September 2025

Pupils are given an educational experience that inspires them to be the best they can, regardless of their background or starting point. Pupils delight in the first-class opportunities for learning, whether through the high-quality curriculum or the additional events, trips and activities. The school's distinctive bilingual character underpins everything it does. The highly positive environment promotes a deep-seated respect for others. It also gives pupils the skills and understanding to take their place in society as citizens. They are extremely considerate of others and celebrate difference. As they note, 'no one is judged'. Pupils have nothing but praise for their teachers and the way the school keeps them safe. They feel extremely well supported by their teachers and place great trust in them. Pupils say that staff do everything they can to help them achieve the best possible outcomes. Staff provide pupils with individual help with their work or with their personal concerns. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. The school's well-established routines ensure that everything runs smoothly and without fuss. This begins in early years, where children in the Nursery move from one activity to another quickly and politely. Older pupils arrive at classrooms early so they can collect the right books for the lesson from their lockers.
