What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 September 2025
The school warmly welcomes pupils and their families when they join. This is supported by the range of team-building and social activities that the school organises so that pupils, staff, parents and carers all feel part of this cohesive community. Pupils and staff build strong and respectful working relationships. Pupils are very happy here and appreciate all that the school offers. The school is highly ambitious in its aims to provide pupils with an excellent education. They strive to provide pupils with`the best of two worlds'. The school draws on Norwegian and British educational approaches, shared values and an openness to all cultures. As a result, pupils achieve very highly in their academic studies and receive consistently high-quality support with their personal development. Pupils' behaviour is brilliant. This is because they accept and value everyone for who they are. Pupils are inquisitive and enjoy working together to research information. They make informed presentations to their peers, so that they can learn from one another. Pupils also learn to debate controversial topics in a mature manner. They are open to considering views that are different to their own. Pupils enjoy the occasional activities in mixed-age teams, from 16 to 6-year-olds. This contributes to pupils getting to know one another well.
