What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

Pupils are highly motivated and engaged in learning at this school. Staff explicitly teach learning behaviours and routines. Leaders ensure that these are embedded consistently across the school. Pupils know what is expected of them. They are ambitious to demonstrate meeting high expectations. There is an unwavering thread of respect for others that runs throughout the school. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils are confident that leaders would 'intervene in a flash' if bullying occurred. Behaviour that is less than exemplary is rare and quickly addressed by staff. Leaders have high expectations for every pupil and particularly for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff engage pupils through the ambitious curriculum. Pupils are excited about their learning. This 'learning buzz' permeates the entire school. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of wider curriculum and leadership opportunities. Leaders consult pupils about the activities they would like to take part in. As a result, there is high take up from pupils. The digital curriculum is highly effective in supporting pupils across the school to access learning. For example, specialist software ensures that all pupils, particularly those with SEND, can learn independently.
