What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is visible in their enthusiasm and excitement for their learning. They feel safe and happy in all aspects of school life. Leaders have created an ethos of exceptionally high expectations, which pupils embody. Pupils reflect the vision of leaders, developing as 'confident, successful learners and well equipped for future life'. Pupils' behaviour in school is exemplary. Bullying is extremely rare. Pupils treat each other with respect and are courteous to adults both in lessons and at social times. Pupils are enthusiastic in adopting full and active leadership roles. These roles begin in early years, where children become monitors. Other leadership roles include head pupils, school council representatives, worship leaders and peer mentors. These roles provide pupils with a solid platform from which to voice their views and the views of others. Pupils enjoy a rich, diverse range of experiences to develop their talents and interests. For example, they have recently engaged in a whole-school and wider community coronation event and a visit to London. Other external activities include visits to study science at a local grammar school and participation in local tournaments, such as Quad kids.
