What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2023

Leaders ensure that all pupils can excel. They have high expectations for every pupil in the school. Leaders enable pupils to be highly motivated to learn. Pupils are extremely hardworking, polite and kind. They are proud of their school. Staff encourage them to make positive contributions to the school community. Working relationships between staff and pupils are exceptionally positive. Staff know their pupils very well and ensure that they are safe and happy. The behaviour of pupils is exemplary both during lessons and around the school site. There are many opportunities for staff to recognise pupils' positive behaviour, including through weekly rewards assemblies. All pupils have access to a wide range of extra opportunities in the school. They take part in many enrichment activities, including through music, coding, yoga and needlework clubs. Pupils also benefit from specialised music and horse-riding clubs. There are a range of student leadership groups that pupils can join, including the 'eco' and student council.
