What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
Pupils are exceptionally happy to be members of this kind and caring school community. They understand the school's values, and they do their utmost to live out the school's mission to 'do everything with love'. This is reflected in their impeccable behaviour during their lessons and throughout the school day. Pupils learn from early on to take responsibility for their own actions. They said that they feel safe in school and that they trust staff to help them with any worries they may have. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), take every opportunity to learn new things. For example, they relish the wide range of activities on offer to them. Whether it is attending the cross-country fixtures, completing sponsored walks for charities, or attending weekly cookery lessons after school, pupils are keen to be involved. The school ensures that their interests and talents are nurtured through a wide variety of clubs, including chess, art and music. Pupils thrive at this school. They live up to the high expectations that the school sets for their academic achievement, and they are guided well to take responsibility for their own personal development. As a result, they achieve exceptionally well, both academically and socially. Over time, pupils develop into articulate, confident individuals who are remarkably well prepared for the challenges of the next stage of their education.
