What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 November 2021

Trustees, leaders and staff have established a school with excellence at the core of everything that takes place. The highest expectations are set for all pupils. Leaders have designed a curriculum to help pupils thrive, both personally and academically. Staff teach this curriculum with high levels of expertise. Pupils' learning is firmly cemented, and they become very knowledgeable. They develop qualities of independence and self-determination. Pupils fully understand the school's approach to behaviour management. Staff apply this fairly and consistently. The school is an exceptionally calm and orderly place to learn. This helps pupils to feel safe. They are highly motivated and happy in lessons. Playtimes are lively and active. Then, following a well-established system, pupils return into school in a quiet, tranquil manner. Pupils believe that bullying is rare. They are confident that if it does take place, staff will support them. First-rate opportunities for personal development are in place. There is a wealth of wide-ranging opportunities for pupils to develop their talents. Links with industry and universities raise pupils' aspirations. This widens their horizons for what is possible in the future. The school is a true learning community. A pupil described this as, 'We are all part of a family together.'
