What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
The values of faith, unity and excellence are embedded in this warm and welcoming school. Pupils are a delight to talk to, they are proud and happy to attend the school and love to discuss their learning and the wider experiences they enjoy. Pupils are safe and know that if they have any concerns, they can alert staff by using the classroom 'talk boxes' or talking to a trusted adult. Bullying is rare. If things go wrong, pupils know staff will deal with it quickly and appropriately. The school has high aspirations for all pupils from the moment that they arrive, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy their learning and take part in lessons with enthusiasm. As a result, pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. This is because routines are firmly established and pupils know what is expected of them. Pupils are resilient and motivated learners and are polite to staff and to each other. The school provides exceptional opportunities for pupils' personal development. There is a rich offer of clubs and trips and pupils engage in leadership roles and activities that support the wider community.
