What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
An abundance of love, care and ambition are evident across this school. Whether you are speaking to pupils, staff or parents and carers, the message is the same: 'We live, love and learn together as a family and as a community.' The school is transforming the lives of families and pupils. Many pupils join the school at different times throughout the year. Some stay for a little while. Some stay for longer. But what is consistent is the school's determination that every pupil will, and does, do well. There is a high level of care for every child. This includes family support, nurture and mentoring. Pupils who are new to school benefit from the exceptional care that all pupils receive. Home visits ensure that these pupils and their families get the help they need to settle in swiftly. Behaviour is notably praiseworthy. Not a moment of learning is wasted. All pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. The raft of additional opportunities provided is a unique aspect of this school. Everyone enjoys this exciting offer. From biking to ballet, sailing to supper club, the urban farm to the food cupboard; nothing is too much trouble for the school. They spot, they seek and they successfully support so many people in so many ways.
