What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 July 2025

Pupils are proud to attend this ambitious, nurturing school. The school has high expectations, and pupils rise to meet them. Pupils achieve very well. The school's vision, 'let your love show', is more than a motto; it is deeply embedded in school life. Relationships are incredibly respectful, warm and inclusive. Pupils feel safe, listened to and valued. They know that staff genuinely care about them. There is a strong focus on supporting pupils' mental health and emotional well-being. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of rich opportunities beyond the classroom. They enjoy taking on a myriad of leadership roles and engaging in civic responsibilities. These experiences, and many others, help pupils to grow in confidence and develop a strong sense of responsibility and citizenship. Pupils learn valuable life skills, such as how to manage money and cycle safely. The 'chicken chiefs' take great pride in caring for the chickens. The student leadership team make important decisions about school life. The school is preparing pupils very well for their next stages and life beyond school. This is a school where pupils are encouraged to thrive, both academically and personally, and where love, care and ambition shine through in all that it does.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, in some subjects, information from checks of pupils' learning is not used to accurately identify pupils' existing knowledge and inform subsequent teaching. The school should ensure that assessment information is used effectively to support, extend and adapt pupils' learning.
