What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2024

Pupils thrive at this safe, nurturing and inclusive school. Staff and pupils are happy and extremely proud to be members of their school community. Pupils' learning gets off to a strong start in the early years. This high-quality provision continues throughout the school. Leaders have high aspirations for everyone. Staff know the pupils very well and give them the precise support they need to flourish. This is especially true for disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who receive excellent support and guidance. They routinely strive to meet teachers' high standards and achieve very well as a result. Leaders are hugely committed to the pupils and their families. They go above and beyond to provide a great deal of support for the community. The school has developed an impressive provision for pupils' personal development. As well as a wide range of educational visits, residentials and experiences, the school also sets up many industry partnerships to inspire purpose and ambition in pupils. For example, in their 'community kitchen', they learn about different career paths, such as being a sushi chef, as well as getting practical experience of making sushi. Pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain and supported to be successful in their later lives.
