What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 May 2023

Pupils get an excellent education at this superbly led school. From reading to mathematics, and from science to art and design, the curriculum is exceptionally well organised. Pupils learn a lot and achieve highly. What is more, there are lots of extra activities for them to do. After-school clubs cater for a range of interests and many school trips enable pupils to learn beyond the classroom. On top of that, pupils have a voice in shaping school policy and take on many jobs that help others. Leaders' worthy values and high expectations colour all aspects of school life. Staff feel supported in their work and are motivated to do their best for pupils. Behaviour around school is calm, orderly and respectful. The school's rules are fair, consistent and understood by all. Bullying is not accepted and pupils and staff keep a close watch to make sure it does not happen. If any problems occur, staff deal with them promptly. Pupils and parents are full of praise for the school. They particularly value the top- quality leadership, teaching, level of care and attention to safety. Inspection evidence supports these views. Communication between school and home is exceptionally strong.
