What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 April 2023

The school's warm and welcoming environment is one where pupils thrive. Pupils' well- being and development are at the centre of everything staff do. Pupils are happy and look forward to attending each day. They feel that they belong and are very proud of their school. Pupils say they feel safe. The relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils respect each other and say everyone is kind. Staff have high expectations for all pupils to achieve their very best. This happens through the personalised approach to teaching and learning. Staff model the school's mission to make every second a chance 'to be valuable, inspiring and personalised'. The environment is calm and very well ordered. Pupils are eager to learn. They have excellent attitudes. When pupils struggle to manage their behaviours, staff use their in- depth knowledge of each pupil to respond extremely well. Staff help pupils to manage and regulate their own emotions. These strategies are highly effective. Bullying is very rare. If it does happen, staff deal with it effectively. Parents and carers are delighted with the care and attention their children receive. They typically say that staff go above and beyond for their children. They recommend this school highly to others.
