What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 March 2024
The school provides a strong and vibrant education. Pupils excel in their learning. This is because the school has high academic ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school lives by its motto 'non progredi est regredi' which means 'to not go forwards is to go backwards.' Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are highly motivated and show respect and kindness to adults and each other. The school's key values of resilience, respect, resourcefulness, responsibility and reflection develop a sense of community and empathy. The school encourages pupils to see challenges and setbacks as opportunities for improvement. The school provides pupils with a wide range of valuable experiences and opportunities to develop their character and confidence and broaden their knowledge. Pupils attend science workshops, take parents and carers on a tour of their history work, and take part in a daily diet of clubs and events. One pupil's comment, typical of many, was to describe the school as 'exciting' and 'surprising' as each day brings a new adventure. Pupils are happy and safe at this school. The school works closely with parents and families, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Pupils attend the school well.
