What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2023

Pupils are quite rightly very proud of their school and all the wonderful things that they learn and experience. They receive a high-quality education across the curriculum and benefit from an incredibly rich programme of personal development. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. One captured this, saying, 'All staff put their heart and soul into providing the best education and care for all pupils.' The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Everyone understands the staff's high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils, and children in the early years, excel in every aspect of their education. They embrace the school's values of 'work hard, dream big and never give up'. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are fully attentive in lessons. They work hard without any distractions or disruption. Pupils across the school thrive in a harmonious and caring environment. The school promotes equality and respect for everyone. Pupils have a good understanding of each other's differences and celebrate them. They are confident that staff will swiftly resolve any concerns that they may have. Pupils are kind and caring towards one another. They feel happy and safe.
