What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2024

Pupils really enjoy coming to this school, where they are inspired to learn and achieve highly. All pupils are proud to belong to the school community. They talk passionately about the history of the school and what they are taught about the designers, artists and architects, as well as local dignitaries, who have been involved in the school over time. Pupils behave extremely well. Staff have clear expectations and communicate them throughout all their interactions with pupils. Pupils are polite to staff, peers, and visitors. They have a high degree of trust that adults will support them in case of any issues. Pupils learn to reflect on what it means to be safe. The school has thought carefully about how to teach different aspects of keeping safe so that learning is appropriate and relevant to pupils' age and experiences. Staff have consistently high expectations for all pupils' academic development, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils with SEND are fully included in lessons and learn alongside their peers. Staff revisit subject content from earlier topics to ensure that pupils' understanding is secure. This contributes to pupils' excellent achievement. Pupils enjoy the range of clubs and activities that the school offers, including academic clubs and sports clubs. The school enriches the curriculum with various educational visits. For instance, Year 6 pupils learning about the Second World War visited the Imperial War Museum.
