What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

This is an exceptional school that is at the heart of its community. The ethos of deep care and high ambition is threaded through all aspects of school life. Leaders have high aspirations to make sure pupils become active citizens of the world. Leaders have the highest expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour. All staff want pupils to achieve their very best, and pupils consistently do. They excel in their learning across the curriculum. All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), thrive at this school. Pupils are polite and courteous. Their behaviour around the school is calm and orderly. At social times, pupils play well together and take turns. Working relationships are strong and respectful. As a result, pupils feel secure and are kept safe. The vast majority of parents and carers speak overwhelmingly positively about the school. They value the focus leaders place on not only their academic development but also pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. One parent said, 'Overall this is a wonderful school, mirroring the ethics and values of its families and nurturing our children academically, physically and spiritually.' This is a view echoed by many parents.
