What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils love attending this exceptional school where they have many opportunities to shine. From the moment children join in Reception, they flourish. They understand, and show, their 'HIBPS' values which school councillors have recently re-vamped. Values such as 'responsibility' and 'respect' are second nature to pupils. They live and breathe them throughout the day. This helps pupils develop into the kind and mature young people they are. Older pupils value helping younger pupils in their roles as 'play leaders'. This helps to build the strong family feel that exists throughout the school. Pupils love coming together as one to chat over lunch in the dining hall or when baking together in the kitchen. Pupils aspire to be the best they can be. Their behaviour is exceptional. Pupils work incredibly hard to reach the high expectations staff have of them. They focus diligently on their learning. This helps them to produce work of an excellent quality. Pupils benefit from the thoroughly designed enrichment programme. Trips to places such as Bletchley Park, the West End or a range of different museums enable pupils to deepen the knowledge they learn in class. Pupils see themselves as budding innovators, artists, mathematicians, scientists, authors and more.
