What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
The school aims to 'create a haven in which all pupils flourish'. This ambition is realised. Pupils are expected to achieve highly and to be well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils rise to this challenge and live up to these high expectations. The school is a happy place. Relationships between pupils and staff are consistently positive. Pupils are well-mannered and courteous. They enjoy spending social times together. They treat each other respectfully. One pupil expressed the view of many by explaining, 'Everyone is treated fairly. It's good to celebrate difference.' Pupils understand the school's values and 'golden rules'. They know the importance of integrity, resilience, oneness, gratitude, understanding and support. They thrive on being recognised for demonstrating these values. They enjoy earning house points for, in pupils' own words, 'the glory.' Pupils who struggle to live up to the school's expectations are well- supported. Pupils benefit from the many opportunities to make a positive contribution to the school. Roles such as attendance monitors, librarians, school councillors and mini police, to mention but a few, are taken seriously. Pupils understand how applying for and being interviewed for these roles helps to prepare them for the future.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, pupils do not consistently remember what they have learned. This means there are some gaps in their knowledge. The school should ensure that, across all subjects, pupils are able to consistently recall what they have learned previously.
- Some parents do not view the school positively. This means that the school is not working as harmoniously as it could with its' community. The school should ensure that it systematically and routinely explores, understands and responds to community views so that it has a more cohesive relationship with a greater proportion of its' parental community.
