What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 June 2024

This is an exceptional school with a strong commitment to its community. The school prioritises helping pupils to have a sense of belonging. Kindness and respectful behaviour extend throughout daily school life. This ensures that pupils feel welcome, safe and well supported to achieve highly. The school sets the highest aspirations for every pupil. Pupils are supported to be curious and resilient learners. They enjoy and value their education, producing a consistently high quality of work across all subjects. In class, pupils work hard and are encouraged to be inclusive of others. Pupils achieve exceptionally well, reaching standards that are higher than those found nationally. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are taught to be polite and respectful towards each other and towards adults. The maturity and self-discipline that pupils demonstrate is impressive. Pupils and parents and carers value the high-quality education here. This is one of the reasons why attendance is high. The school takes timely and appropriate steps to support those pupils at risk of non-attendance. Pupils value difference and embrace diversity, both through the curriculum that they are taught and through the many experiences the school organises in the wider community. The school places emphasis on developing pupils' understanding of fundamental British values. Pupils enjoy learning about how to be active and inclusive citizens.
