What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 November 2022

Leaders have high ambitions for pupils. They expect all pupils to achieve highly in school. Leaders work with school staff to ensure that pupils can achieve their potential. As a result, pupils flourish here. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are supportive and caring towards each other. Pupils are polite and show respect to others. Pupils have high aspirations. They appreciate the support and encouragement they receive from leaders and teachers. Pupils are safe here. They speak to leaders and teachers if they are worried about anything. Some pupils said the school's well-being centre is a place where they can talk about their feelings. Leaders provide opportunities to support pupils' personal development. For example, pupils take part in workshops about equality and the importance of positive thinking. They make use of the school's well-being centre. On the rare occasions that any bullying happens, leaders deal with it swiftly. Pupils benefit from a range of wider opportunities. Leaders provide an extensive programme of extra-curricular clubs. This is because they want pupils to explore their passions and interests. All pupils in Year 7 take part in the 'Big Sing' concert. A high proportion of pupils in Year 7 attend an annual educational visit to Snowdonia.
