What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
Pupils flourish in this kind and welcoming school. They are happy, enjoy their learning and are kept safe. Staff are proud to be part of the school community and have very high expectations for what pupils can achieve. The school and trust provide an ambitious curriculum for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They learn a broad range of subjects in line with what is expected nationally. Pupils work hard and achieve highly, including in national assessments. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education their children receive. Teachers build strong relationships with pupils, which allows them to thrive. Bullying is rare and pupils know whom to speak with if they have any concerns. The school has established clear behaviour expectations which are consistently applied and understood by all. Consequently, behaviour in lessons and around the school site is exemplary. Pupils develop their talents and interests through a wide range of enrichment activities, including baseball, coding and kickboxing. They are keen to take on responsibilities around the school and act as role models for younger pupils, for example by acting as sports leaders. All pupils attend regular educational visits linked to the curriculum.
