What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 June 2025

Pupils benefit from a strong educational experience that promotes their academic excellence and their personal development. They are happy, proud and feel safe within a highly caring environment. Relationships between pupils and staff are built on respect, trust and high expectations. This helps pupils to thrive inside and outside of the classroom. Across the school, most pupils behave extremely well. They develop increasing maturity and responsibility as they progress through the school. Children in the early years play well together and learn to manage their emotions and behaviour. Pupils across other phases are proud to be role models for their peers. For example, primary school pupils value their prefect roles and being able to help their peers. Older pupils enjoy leading clubs and societies to enrich younger pupils' experiences and understanding of the wider world. The school sets high expectations of pupils' academic achievement. It offers a broad and ambitious curriculum that encourages most pupils to gain a deep and secure body of knowledge. Pupils are motivated and keen to live up to the high ambitions that staff have of them. They engage positively with their learning and achieve well.

What the school should improve

• The school has not fully developed and implemented its provision to support pupils with SEND, particularly in the secondary phase. As a result, some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could. The school should enhance staff's expertise and knowledge to adapt learning to meet the additional needs of the growing number of pupils with SEND.
