From the inspection on 28 February 2023

Leaders set the highest expectations for all pupils to achieve their best. The school's values are embraced by the whole school community. Leaders have created a positive school culture in which pupils are encouraged to live and learn productively and ultimately thrive. Pupils achieve highly here and are fully ready for their next steps. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They display a genuine love of learning in the way they approach activities. Relationships between pupils and staff are strong and respectful. Pupils are proud of their work. Bullying is not tolerated, and leaders follow up on any rare incidents and resolve them swiftly. Pupils are happy and safe and know they can tell a trusted adult any concerns or worries. Pupils demonstrate great kindness towards each other and adults through their interactions. They spoke excitedly about their after-school learning in 'I Shine University', including weather forecasting, origami and coding. Teachers encourage them to learn about different professions, including in medicine.
