What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Leaders have ensured that there is a strong culture of learning at the school. Leaders and teachers deliver the '3 Bee' values of respect, responsibility and resilience through all that pupils are taught and take part in. Pupils are keen to take advantage of the various leadership opportunities available to them. For example, pupils spoke with enthusiasm about being in the pupil parliament or leading as an eco-champion. They especially like how these roles give them the opportunity to represent the views of other pupils. Leaders have designed a curriculum that ensures that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), secure a detailed body of knowledge across a range of subjects. Pupils understand the rules and routines that leaders have introduced. This means that behaviour around the school and in lessons is very positive. Pupils know how they need to behave if they want to learn, and they do this. Teachers rarely need to correct behaviour. On the rare occasion that pupils lose focus, pupils are very quick to remind each other about the expectations. Leaders and teachers work closely with parents and carers, who would recommend the school highly to others. Leaders have also developed strong working relationships with the local community. For example, pupils raise funds to support local initiatives.
