What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
The school is a highly purposeful and happy place to be. Pupils interact very pleasantly with one another around the school. At lunch, some pupils share conversation using their tablets, some play football and others sit out on the grass chatting. Pupils treat each other with the highest levels of respect and tolerance. This is because it is such an important part of school culture. Pupils take responsibility for doing the right things, including behaving well, even when no one is watching. Pupils produce exceptional work and attain extremely well because they benefit from highly skilled and expert teaching. They develop a complex and deep understanding of the subjects they learn. Staff care about forming highly positive relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils have lots of people they can talk to if they ever have any worries. Pupils know there is always someone they can turn to either for academic or personal reasons. This keeps them safe. Pupils benefit from a wealth of wider opportunities that promote personal development. These include choirs, exchange visits, regular sporting fixtures and competitions and school productions. Pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils access all these opportunities equally.
