What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils love coming to this school. It is a hive of activity where all have a shared sense of purpose. Pupils feel safe and welcome. They thrive academically and socially. Pupils meet the high expectations that school has of them. They are keen to learn as much as they can, eagerly contributing to lessons and the wider school. Pupils are respectful of staff and peers. All ages work and play together harmoniously. They are kind to each other and know how to manage their feelings. Pupils' lives are enriched by experiences such as outdoor education and participation in live theatre and music. Leadership roles, sporting competitions, creative events and a vast array of clubs provide pupils with a multitude of opportunities to develop their interests, talents and character. Personal development is integral to all aspects of the curriculum. For example, class reading books expose pupils to the experiences of people whose lives are different from their own. Pupils have a strong appreciation of the challenges that some people face due to things such as their gender or race. They admire the positive contributions made by those who have challenged injustice or have come to Britain from other countries.
