What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2024

Pupils are respectful and kind towards each other. They truly enjoy their time here. Leaders have carefully planned the curriculum to ensure that it supports pupils in developing academically and personally during their time at the school. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. Leaders want pupils to learn from their mistakes and celebrate their successes. This is happening in practice every day at the school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn a highly ambitious curriculum that is both broad and deep. The support provided by staff allows pupils to be successful in mastering this curriculum. This mastery of subject content is well demonstrated by pupils' strong outcomes in national assessments. Pupils show consistently excellent behaviour. They support one another in their learning and following the school's expectations and routines. The school works closely with parents and carers to provide excellent support for pupils' behaviour and attendance. Leaders have ensured that the whole staff team know how to care effectively for pupils. Pupils have trusted adults who they feel confident to speak with if they have any worries. Pupils are kept safe.
