What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 June 2025

Pupils here, no matter their needs, circumstances or challenges, are supported to achieve their best. The school is inclusive and puts pupils at the heart of every decision, ensuring that they have an education that is right for them. The school is growing alongside its pupils, with many building projects underway. This has been carefully considered to cater for the needs of the pupils, but also to foster and develop their interests. Although academic outcomes are not yet strong for all pupils, the school has high expectations and is working hard to achieve these. Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour and show respect for one another. They are polite and respectful. Together, staff and pupils nurture a strong sense of community, where everyone feels valued and treated equally. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe through a broad and well-rounded curriculum that addresses a range of key challenges that pupils may face. Pupils take comfort in knowing that trusted support is always accessible to them, which helps to foster a strong sense of confidence, safety and well-being.
