What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 April 2025
A warm welcome awaits everyone who arrives at the school. Pupils love being here. They thrive as part of the Nishkam family. The school has very high expectations and is successful in its aim that all pupils achieve well, regardless of their starting points. Virtues, such as compassion, humility, service, contentment, optimism, truth and forgiveness are central to every aspect of school life. They are modelled by pupils and staff alike. Pupils explain how these virtues support them to flourish as individuals and guide them to behave exceptionally well. As a result, the school is calm and orderly. All relationships in the school are respectful and caring. Pupils look after each other and display exemplary manners to everyone. They cooperate happily in play and while learning. Pupils know that adults will help them to sort out any worries. They feel safe at school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a wide range of opportunities to develop talents and interests. There are many clubs, including chess, dilruba, archery, cooking and gymnastics. Pupils take part in several residential trips to challenge themselves with outdoor activities or experience different aspects of the arts.
