What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils here show great care, kindness and respect towards each other. Staff model these behaviours and ensure pupils receive any support they may need. As a result, pupils are safe and know their views are heard. Pupils are excellent role models for their younger peers and eagerly take on leadership opportunities. For example, peer mentors support others to follow the school 'virtues' and reading ambassadors read with younger pupils. Pupils behave extremely well at all times. The school has high expectations of all pupils and their learning. Pupils delight in working through the ambitious work they complete. They remain focused during their lessons. Pupils achieve highly and build a deep body of knowledge across the broad curriculum. From the Nursery onwards, pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. Staff ensure that pupils' experiences go far beyond the academic. For example, all pupils take part in regular horse-riding and swimming lessons. All pupils choose to participate in a weekly club, including skateboarding, chamber choir and chess. A wide range of educational visits enrich the taught curriculum. These include outings to the House of Lords, the fire station and the neighbouring Clapham Common.
