What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

This is a school where everyone is valued. Pupils are incredibly kind and polite towards each other. Pupils have been taught the importance of respect and 'learning together' which is interwoven throughout all aspects of school life. Pupils feel safe here. They have identified five adults who will listen and help them if they have a worry. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and nurturing across the school. Pupils feel happy here because adults make learning fun. Pupils' behaviour across the school is exemplary. Staff have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils achieve highly across a range of subjects. Attendance remains a priority for the school. Leaders are taking appropriate action to ensure that attendance remains high. There are a number of opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. For example, lunchtime monitors help pupils in the dining hall. Pupils are proud of their roles because they understand the value of helping others. Pupils speak positively about the range of enrichment activities on offer. Pupils in the choir were given the opportunity to visit Cambridge University and will be performing at St Paul's Cathedral. These experiences help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
