What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 April 2025

Extremely high expectations underpin this ambitious and very inclusive school. Staff will only accept the best standard of work. Pupils respond to this challenge brilliantly. They attend regularly and enjoy school. Pupils' attitudes to learning are exemplary. They are immensely proud of their school and achievements. Staff teach the very carefully designed curriculum with skill and precision. This all helps pupils, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to excel. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for their secondary education, reflected in their very high attainment in published outcomes. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. They conduct themselves beautifully in lessons and around the school. Lessons are consistently calm and purposeful. Pupils demonstrate that they understand what it means to be respectful and safe. Staff secure trusted relationships with pupils. They go the extra mile to know pupils' individual needs, interests and talents. Wide-ranging enhancements to the curriculum, including an array of trips and visits, help pupils develop empathy and a deep understanding of life in modern Britain. Pupils extend their talents and interests considerably through plentiful enhancements to school life. For example, they benefit greatly from a broad range of clubs, a range of instrument lessons and school events, such as musicals.
