What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 January 2024

The school has a culture of high expectations and excellence. Pupils are encouraged to develop values which help them to strive to be the best they can be. Pupils flourish at this school and they enjoy their time here. Pupils are safe and well looked after here. They can talk to trusted adults in school if they have any concerns. Staff are caring and get to know pupils and their families very well. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite and respectful to staff and each other. Older pupils act as 'ambassadors' to support other pupils. For example, they help younger pupils to make friends and run lunchtime clubs, including science, mathematics, computing and English. Pupils play an important part in the life of the school by taking on roles of responsibility. The school's exceptional enrichment programme helps to ensure that pupils have a well-rounded education. All pupils have equal opportunities to explore new interests and broaden their experiences. Clubs are popular including sewing, drama, cooking and chess. Pupils are encouraged to show their creative talents to advantage, such as through Christmas concerts and end-of-year plays. Through partnership with the secondary school on the same site, pupils take part in a wide range of sports and music.
