What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2023
Leaders' expectations for pupils' behaviour, academic work and personal development are exceptionally high. Staff are driven by a shared commitment to giving pupils an excellent education. Pupils rise to the challenges set by leaders and take their education seriously. Staff inspire pupils to 'work hard and be kind' in line with the school's values. Staff reinforce these standards at every opportunity. Personal responsibility, doing the right thing and duty to others are integral to the school's culture. At the daily 'family lunch', for example, pupils serve each other and tidy up afterwards. This also gives them the chance to develop their social skills as they discuss the 'lunchtime topic' together. Pupils are encouraged to be thankful through expressing their appreciation of those who have helped them. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. 'Boot camp' in Year 7 teaches pupils about the school's expectations for their conduct and classroom routines. These procedures are embedded across the school. Pupils know, for example, that they are expected to arrive on time with the right equipment and to take part fully in lessons. They strive to do so. Pupils enjoy positive working relationships with staff. They feel safe and know that staff have pupils' best interests at heart.
