What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Leaders fulfil their ambition to develop pupils as 'caring young people, sensitive to the needs of others and proud of the responsibilities they take'. The rich curriculum develops pupils both socially and academically. Pupils enjoy learning and are appreciative of the high-quality teaching. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the early years, pupils learn a strong moral code and take responsibility for their actions. Pupils are kind and considerate to one another. They feel safe and happy in school. Bullying is rare. Relationships between staff, pupils and parents are very positive. Pupils know that adults listen to their concerns and will help them. Leaders provide a wealth of enrichment activities. There are many after-school clubs, such as 'Rock Steady', a music club, and 'Maths in Motion', linked to Formula 1 racing. Pupils love the overseas visits to Italy and Holland, where they actively learn about life in a different culture. Pupils learn to serve their school and local community through their many leadership roles. The eco-warriors encourage others to care for the environment. Class chaplains lead aspects of worship. 'Mini Vinnies' organise charitable fundraising events throughout the year. Pupils flourish in this inspirational school.
