What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 January 2023

Pupils at this school are encouraged to make a difference to their own lives and those of others. Leaders enable this by providing pupils with a broad and highly ambitious curriculum, which includes a range of academic and creative subjects. All pupils also participate in a wide selection of enrichment activities. Pupils attend these regularly. They appreciate how the experiences on offer aim to help them to become responsible and well-rounded members of society. Staff and governors are committed to ensuring that all pupils realise their potential. Pupils are happy in school. They enjoy their learning immensely. Leaders have created an inclusive community, where all pupils feel valued. Pupils celebrate the diversity of their school. They told inspectors that everyone is treated fairly and equally. The school provides a safe environment for pupils. Staff have consistently high expectations of behaviour and pupils rise to meet these. Lessons are calm and pupils focus on their learning. At breaktimes and between lessons, pupils manage their own behaviour very well. Pupils learn about bullying and mutual respect in their human and life skills course. Pupils were keen to tell inspectors that bullying is not tolerated here. Teachers deal with any concerns swiftly and, as a result, bullying rarely happens.
