What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
The school values of 'responsibility, thoughtfulness and resilience' are visible in everything that takes place here. Days begin with pupils enthusiastically greeting staff at the gate. Pupils trust and respect staff and they value their help and support. Parents and carers strongly recommend the school. They are fulsome in their praise for the school, which they refer to as 'a family'. The academic curriculum is ambitious in both the variety and thoroughness of learning that it provides for pupils. Pupils are highly motivated by this curriculum. This is demonstrated by the excellent work that they produce, as well as their results in national tests. This is also true for those pupils who may be disadvantaged and/or those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school places great value on the work that they do to develop the character of pupils. They learn the importance of helping others and they complete charitable work. Pupils eagerly take on various roles of responsibility, such as the peer mentors who help younger pupils to learn how to play together. Pupils are kept safe and will talk to staff about any worries. They appreciate the care that the school offers for their well-being. Their behaviour is exemplary, and it supports their learning.
