What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

Pupils thrive in a culture of high expectation and achievement. Staff create an ethos in which pupils are enabled to reach their academic and personal potential, regardless of their starting points. This ethos is firmly rooted in the school's values. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve exceptionally well. Attendance is very high. Pupils enjoy coming to the school and appreciate the support they receive from staff. They feel safe and able to share their feelings. Pupils display exemplary behaviour in lessons and they are focused and resilient. They move around the building in a calm and orderly manner. Pupils support one another well. A respectful and inclusive culture is evident in the school. First-rate opportunities for personal development are in place. There is a wealth of wide- ranging opportunities for pupils to develop their talents. They take part in a variety of enrichment activities which help them to develop their character. Trips to the theatre and visits to key places in British culture and history are regular features of their experience. Pupils hugely value the many opportunities that they otherwise may not have. Therefore, pupils are very well prepared for later life.
