What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils are happy, welcoming and thoughtful. The motto 'Be who God wants you to be' is reflected by staff and pupils each day. The religious character of the school is an important part of school life. However, all faiths are celebrated and respected. This helps to ensure that everyone feels safe and is kept safe. Staff have extremely high expectations of pupils to be the best they can be. Pupils consistently rise to this challenge. They take responsibility for themselves and each other, both academically and in the way they behave. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are extremely polite and confident. This is because adults show them how to be caring and supportive. Pupils learn a broad and ambitious curriculum. They work very hard and produce work of good quality in different subjects. This ensures that they are well prepared for the next stage of their education. There are numerous opportunities for pupils to take on additional responsibilities, including as prayer leaders, librarians, lunch and class monitors. Pupils represent their school in a range of sports clubs and competitions. Pupils also develop their talents and interests through attending additional activities in art and music.
