What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

The school wants pupils to live the motto: 'I can do all things.' It is successful in achieving this aim. The school has turned this vision into reality for its pupils. Every adult in the school wants the very best for every single pupil. They leave no stone unturned in trying to make that happen. Adults in the school care deeply about the pupils. Pupils grow into happy, confident, independent and successful learners. The school provides an exceptionally inclusive environment. Everybody, regardless of their background or individual needs, can thrive. Pupils know that this degree of care and ambition is exceptional. Many told us that they feel lucky to attend this school. In return, pupils behave extremely well and work very hard. As a result, pupils learn the ambitious curriculum successfully and achieve well. Pupils make a significant contribution to the smooth running of the school. For example, there are nine pupil leadership groups. These groups help manage the playground, the library, collective worship and much more besides. Pupils' involvement in school life goes beyond this. Pupils help each other to behave well, to follow school rules and treat each other with respect.
