What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Pupils told inspectors that they feel privileged to attend this exceptional school. They benefit from the remarkable range of opportunities that the school provides, which begins in the early years. Pupils explained that they quickly grow in confidence, especially if they have recently arrived from another country. Pupils are passionate advocates for equality. They respect people's differences. Pupils are skilled at supporting each other, including in providing encouragement and translation for pupils who speak English as an additional language. The school sets an extremely high bar for pupils' academic achievement. It makes sure that pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive the support that they need. As a result, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Pupils eagerly respond to the school's aspirations for them. They rarely need reminding to do their best. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable in class, during social times and as they move around the school. Pupils value the exciting and carefully designed activities that the school provides to support their physical and mental well-being. For example, prefects and play leaders make sure that everyone enjoys and gets the most out of breaktimes. The support that these pupils provide helps other pupils to feel safe and happy at school.
