What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 July 2023

Pupils flourish in this welcoming and nurturing school. Pupils' love of school is reflected in their excellent attendance. They are happy learning and playing with their friends. Pupils benefit from leaders' high expectations coupled with tailored support from highly trained staff. They develop confidence and increased independence by accessing the attractive and well-resourced learning environment and the carefully designed curriculum. This ensures that pupils, almost all of whom have education, health and care (EHC) plans, make exceptional progress from their starting points. Pupils comment that staff are kind and always on hand to help them. Leaders and staff deal very effectively with their concerns, including any cases of unkindness or bullying. This helps pupils to feel safe and secure. Pupils behave exceptionally well. Staff know each and every pupil incredibly well. They understand their needs. This means that staff know how best to help individual pupils when they are struggling with their feelings. Pupils have a wealth of opportunities to play an active role in their school and the local community. Pupils take part in cultural events such as ballet workshops and theatre performances. They access music tuition, swimming lessons and a range of sports competitions to pursue and showcase their talents and interests. Every success is celebrated.
