What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 February 2024
This is a school where all pupils flourish. Pupils are kept happy and feel safe in the school. All pupils, including students in the sixth form, experience a high quality of education. They enjoy their learning and meet the highest expectations set by the school. As a result, pupils thrive and become independent and responsible learners. The ambitious curriculum supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are always keen to improve their learning. They appreciate their valuable teacher feedback. There are strong working relationships between staff and pupils. The mutual respect displayed contributes to the positive, stimulating environment. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Staff and pupils value the restorative approach to behaviour, which results in a culture of kindness and care. This extends into the community, where pupils support others in a neighbouring school. Pupils value contributing to the school and beyond. For instance, older pupils were proud of their work cleaning up the banks of the River Thames. The school council has introduced a messaging service for pupils to share any worries they may have. Pupils also speak about talking with a trusted adult. Families and pupils value the academic and pastoral support that is always available.
