What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 September 2022

Pupils thrive at this school. Leaders are determined that all pupils will be given the opportunities they need to succeed. This includes a very carefully considered curriculum which is broad and balanced. In lessons, pupils benefit from the very strong subject knowledge of their teachers. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported in their learning. Pupils achieve very well and are well prepared for the next steps in their education or employment. There is a strong emphasis on developing pupils beyond the academic. This is exemplified by the huge range of additional opportunities and activities that are provided, including the orchestra, rock band, a variety of sports clubs, the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards Scheme, and the Faith in Action programme. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary. Bullying is very rare and when it does happen, it is quickly dealt with. Pupils feel safe in school. They are proud of the school's diversity, and they are very respectful of pupils from different backgrounds and with different abilities. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school and are keen to praise staff for the care shown to their children.
