What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 January 2023
Pupils greatly appreciate the exceptional education that they receive both in and outside the classroom. From Reception onwards, the 'ARRK' values of aspiration, respect, responsibility and kindness are reflected in pupils' daily experiences. Pupils are incredibly well looked after. They say there is no bullying. The view of one pupil that 'school is the best and I feel very safe here' is shared by many. Pupils work extremely well in their lessons. Pupils of all ages love learning and are excited by their subjects. Standards of behaviour are very high. Pupils are taught to concentrate and participate in class. They show high levels of respect for each other and the adults. As one pupil observed, 'You don't really see anyone get told off as everyone behaves.' Adults expect all pupils to do well, and they do. Pupils feel a sense of belonging as members of the school family. This extends beyond the classroom. During social time, pupils love playing together in a range of activities such as the disco, community corner or games zone. Pupils speak really enthusiastically about the opportunities for teamwork and developing their passions through the large range of after-school clubs that they attend.
