Pupils know that leaders have high expectations and are aspirational for them. They understand the school motto of 'enjoy, explore, excel'. Pupils experience a high-quality education that prepares them for the next stage in their education. Any challenges or barriers that pupils face are noticed promptly. Leaders make it their mission to remove these challenges and barriers swiftly to ensure that pupils thrive both academically and personally. Pupils are taught about resilience and how to get along with others. They show determination in their work and an acceptance of others. Everyone is treated as a unique and special individual. Bullying is rare and is dealt with promptly. Pupils behave very well and trust that staff will keep them safe. Pupils experience a broad curriculum in every aspect that is tailored to the school's very multicultural context and individual pupils' needs. They can take part in a range of enrichment and extra-curricular activities that raise aspirations and provide lots of high- quality opportunities to learn, such as through sports, fundraising activities and visits to extend the curriculum. All pupils are encouraged to take on a leadership role and have a positive impact in their school and local community. Pupils demonstrate a high level of care about the importance of helping others.

Leaders make sure that any gaps in these pupils' knowledge are addressed swiftly. As a result, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
