What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

This is a happy, caring and inclusive school where every pupil thrives. Pupils love coming to school. They enjoy their learning in the classroom and the many additional activities the school provides. Expectations of behaviour and achievement are high from Nursery onwards, and pupils are supported every step of the way to meet them. They are proud of the progress they make, and even prouder when they can help others to make progress too. In this highly diverse school, the school values of 'together, one family, one community in Christ' are enacted by every member of staff and every pupil daily. Pupils want to be kind and respectful to each other. They actively look for opportunities to help others, to celebrate their differences and to contribute to their community. Pupils value the exceptionally broad range of opportunities the school provides. They develop their talents and interests through the many clubs and activities that take place throughout the year. Visits, visitors and dedicated days to share cultures and beliefs ensure that pupils have a rich array of experiences. These broaden their horizons, raise their aspirations and prepare them exceptionally well for their next steps.
