What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

Pupils flourish here. They work hard in class and take their education seriously. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils' achievement. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are exceptionally well supported. The behaviour of pupils is exemplary. Pupils are motivated by rewards for showing their positive attitudes, such as trying hard in class or being helpful around the school. They are polite and respectful and readily celebrate their peers' successes. Pupils are happy and safe. Pastoral staff work with pupils to quickly resolve conflicts. When bullying does happen, leaders are quick to address it. The provision for pupils' wider development is exceptionally well thought through. The curriculum to encourage pupils' personal and social development and build character is well established. The school's wider-enrichment programme gives pupils the opportunity to deepen their interests and develop their confidence. They learn new skills that will equip them well for their next steps in education. Older pupils are role models for the younger pupils in the school. Leaders ensure there are a wide range of opportunities for pupils to take on leadership responsibilities. This includes roles as school prefects, anti-bullying ambassadors and peer mentors.
