What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Pupils are proud of their school and feel safe and cared for. They are happy and treat each other kindly. The school teaches pupils to respect each other's backgrounds and culture. Pupils are rewarded for demonstrating the school's core values of being confident, curious, respectful, resilient and ambitious. Leaders have set very high expectations for what they want pupils to achieve. Pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are given a strong platform to achieve well. They are strongly encouraged to opt for the English Baccalaureate suite of qualifications to provide them with wide choices for their futures. Outcomes are high, as shown through recent GCSE results. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They do not tolerate bullying or disrespect for others. They understand the importance of coming to school and, as a result, attendance is high, including for pupils with SEND. Pupils seize opportunities to extend themselves and do so with maturity. For example, in physical education (PE), pupils learn to choreograph and develop dance routines with a high level of technical difficulty. They are also encouraged to join the choir and participate in high-quality performances.
