What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Pupils, staff and families are incredibly proud of their school community. Pupils particularly like the caring, welcoming ethos of the school. One pupil summed this up by saying, 'No matter how different we are, we are all just one big family and treat each other with respect and kindness.' Pupils thrive in their learning and development here. Staff are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. Pupils are able to clearly and confidently articulate their learning across a range of subjects. Working relationships between staff and pupils are built on mutual respect. Staff and pupils live by the school's values of courage, perseverance, friendship, love and cooperation. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and at social times. They are polite and considerate to adults and to each other. Pupils value their learning and are fully engaged in their lessons. They play happily together at social times, when they are supportive and caring towards each other. Pupils said that they feel safe, and that bullying is rare. They trust adults to sort out any issues they may have. Alongside the rich academic curriculum, leaders organise many opportunities to encourage pupils' interests and talents. Pupils are very well supported to be prepared for life in modern Britain.
