What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 June 2022

Pupils enjoy attending this remarkable school where 'excellence is a habit'. From the moment children start in the early years, they benefit from the ambitious curriculum that leaders have carefully planned. Pupils are supported to develop a thirst for learning. They work hard and do not give up. In short, the pupils not only know the school values of 'hard work, independence and enjoyment', they live these values every day. Leaders have ensured that there is a united school community where pupils and staff share the same high expectations for behaviour and attendance. Pupils listen carefully to their teachers and focus on their learning. Pupils know they are 'climbing a mountain' to their future success and are excited for every step they take towards this goal. Pupils understand the need to respect others who may be different to them. They learn about a range of important issues through the wider curriculum. Leaders have ensured that pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to enrich their learning. The school's music specialism is one example of this. The anthem for Bradford's recently successful bid to be 'City of Culture' in 2025 was written and performed by pupils of this vibrant school. Pupils are rightly proud of the contribution they make to the wider community.
