What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 March 2024

Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond exceptionally well to the high expectations that the school has of them. Pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. Staff inspire and enthuse pupils about learning. Pupils gain much new knowledge. They are bursting with eagerness to share what they have learned in lessons and at their after-school clubs. Pupils can explain how their new knowledge builds on what they already know. Pupils demonstrate a deep respect for one another. For example, pupils happily support others when they have made a mistake in their learning. Pupils respect other people's appearance, ideas and opinions. They learn from staff who teach them skilfully what respect means for their day to day lives. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are incredibly happy at the school and said that they feel safe. Some even wrote letters to the inspector to tell him how much the school means to them. The school makes sure that pupils develop a deep knowledge about the wider world. For example, they learn of the joy and beauty of the British coastline through well considered educational visits, such as to the beaches of Morecambe and St Annes.
