What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Leaders ensure that all pupils receive an exceptional education. They have built a strong academic ethos around the school's values. This helps pupils to be resilient and highly reflective. Pupils are hardworking and polite. They are happy, highly articulate and enthusiastic about their learning. Leaders have extremely high expectations for what pupils can achieve. The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy the challenges that staff provide and strive to do their best. The behaviour of pupils is exemplary both in lessons and around the school site. Pupils are kind towards each other. Teachers keep them safe. All pupils have trusted adults to talk to if they have any concerns. Pupils have access to a broad range of wider activities in the school. These include various sports and music clubs, a robotics club and 'library leaders'. Staff encourage pupils to develop their character through the 'student character challenges'. This programme helps pupils to take part in a range of activities to contribute to the school and wider community. These include donating to a foodbank and creating something that inspires others.
