What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

Pupils thrive at this school. They are happy to attend because of the caring adults around them. Pupils settle incredibly well and form strong relationships with their classmates and their teachers. The atmosphere is calm and respectful, and pupils demonstrate confidence and positive attitudes. Pupils have access to excellent opportunities to develop their individual passions. They speak highly of their teachers and how they help pupils to feel safe. The curriculum is highly ambitious. Pupils take part in learning with energy and enthusiasm. The work they produce from a young age is of high quality, preparing them well for their next stage of schooling. Pupils learn to share their ideas, opinions and feelings with maturity and empathy through activities arranged by the school. For example, pupils visit the Royal Courts of Justice to take on court roles and improve their understanding of the risks around online safety and cyber-bullying. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are polite, kind and caring towards others. On joining the school they are quickly introduced to the key traits of confidence, resilience and respect. Pupils soon understand these attributes and demonstrate them consistently throughout the school day.
