What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 June 2025

Pupils' education is of the highest quality at this transformative school. Staff have consistently high aspirations for pupils and ensure that they meet them. Skilled staff identify pupils' personal targets precisely. Teachers use these to select activities that ensure that pupils develop crucial skills and knowledge. Pupils love learning. They show high levels of curiosity when exploring new concepts and experiences. Pupils make rapid progress against targets in their education, health and care plans. As a result, pupils become increasingly independent. This helps them to flourish in school and beyond. Staff model high expectations of behaviour exceptionally well. Pupils' excellent conduct reflects this. Staff build warm and caring relationships with pupils. They respond positively to these. Pupils have trusted adults that they know will manage any concerns they have. In turn, this helps pupils to develop deeply compassionate and caring relationships with their peers. As a result, they feel happy and safe in school. Pupils have ample opportunities to develop their skills and talents. These include a range of clubs, such as signing or performing arts. The clubs support pupils in developing essential skills of communication and resilience. Pupils further develop these qualities through their work in the school cafes or in school performances. Pupils participate excitedly in these activities.
