What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 July 2025
Pupils are enormously proud of their school. They are happy and behave exceptionally well. Pupils have a well-developed understanding of the school's values of determination, humility, fairness, respect and unity. They use these to shape the way they behave and interact and to contribute to the school's positive culture. Pupils are mature and are extremely proud of the contributions they make to the school and community. Pupils of all ages are involved in regular community fundraising projects. Older pupils willingly take on responsibilities. They gladly act as role models, student council members or sports leaders. They help younger pupils feel safe and welcome, all of which boosts the school's calm and accepting atmosphere. The school has high ambitions for all pupils' achievement and meets this goal. Previously, outcomes were in line with national averages. However, the quality of education has been strengthened considerably. As a result, pupils of all ages, including those who speak English as an additional language or join the school mid-year, achieve exceptionally well. Pupils feel overwhelmingly safe at school. The strong bond between home and school means pupils feel understood and secure. They know who to talk to if they have any worries.
