What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils thrive in the school's calm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Strong relationships and a relaxed ethos ensure that they feel settled and secure. Staff have the highest expectations of all pupils, and rightly so. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are impeccably well mannered, welcoming visitors politely and standing to one side to let them pass. The quality of pupils' engagement and behaviour in lessons is impressive. Pupils are ambitious for the future. They achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum and gain valuable qualifications, such as BTEC National Diplomas and GCSEs. Pupils move on to a range of sixth form and further education colleges when they leave the school. The school's unwavering focus on making sure that every pupil is fully prepared for the next stage of their education is a highly successful part of its work. Pupils are taught skills which are essential to ensuring that they can participate fully in the world of work. For instance, during the inspection the youngest pupils were taught how to introduce themselves in a formal situation. Later, some of the older pupils put this important learning into practice when they spontaneously and politely introduced themselves to inspectors and shook them by the hand. One pupil commented, 'I love it here', while another said, 'Staff are brilliant - this is my second home!'
