What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

This is an inspirational school where pupils flourish and learning comes alive. Pupils who were asked to describe their school used words such as 'amazing', 'beautiful' and 'brilliant'. They understand that 'we are here to learn'. They are rightly proud of their achievements. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are kind and caring towards each other and respectful to adults. They are enthusiastic and attentive in lessons. Pupils understand the importance of trying hard and not giving up if something is tricky to learn. Pupils take great care when presenting their work and the quality of their work in books is impressive. There is a range of popular clubs and activities to enhance pupils' broader personal development. These include activities such as sports, yoga, drama, mindfulness and coding. The school makes sure that activities are accessible for everyone, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Trained staff are available to support pupils' social, emotional and mental health needs. Pupils are encouraged to talk to someone or use the class 'worry monsters' if they have concerns. During their time at the school, pupils typically achieve very well. They achieve above-average results in reading, writing and mathematics tests.
