What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Pupils delight in attending this caring school. Each morning, they happily arrive with bright smiles, ready to embrace the day ahead. Staff greet pupils warmly and help them to settle into their learning activities immediately. Typically, pupils meet the school's high expectations for their academic success. They are ready for their next stage. Pupils have positive, resilient attitudes towards their learning. They relish taking on new challenges and confidently told the inspector that they learn from mistakes. This means that most pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), flourish academically and socially. Pupils are well cared for. They know that they can speak to a trusted adult if they have any concerns. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Some older pupils, easily recognisable in their blue jumpers, relish their roles as school prefects. Younger pupils follow clear routines that help them to develop their independence. Pupils work and play harmoniously together. There is a calm, purposeful feel to the school. The school provides pupils with the opportunity to take part in a wide range of clubs and experiences. Many pupils take up this offer. Pupils learn to voice their opinions and they know that their opinions matter. The school council plays an active role in making positive changes in school. Pupils take part in debates and some pupils present at community level. Pupils are extremely proud to be part of this school.
