What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 April 2026
Pupils show incredible pride in their school. They enthuse about their learning and wider opportunities. Pupils are prepared well for their next educational steps and for life beyond school. They achieve well academically and hold high aspirations. Those pupils who need additional support, receive it through an individualised approach. This is a school where everyone is welcome. School staff set high expectations for pupils' behaviour through the 'GREEN' values. Pupils show good manners and are unfailingly polite and kind in their interactions with staff and each other. They feel well cared for and safe at school due to their positive relationships with their trusted adults. Pupils show pleasure when they are recognised for upholding the school values through the school's 'stay on green' system and in their celebration assemblies. In lessons, pupils work hard and show resilience with their learning. Over break and lunchtimes, pupils enjoy having fun with their friends and making creative use of a wide range of equipment. They do not worry about bullying. Pupils know that any rare incidents are dealt with swiftly by the school staff. Pupils gain much from participating in trips linked to their learning and residentials where they build their independence. Pupils show resilience and confidence in the way they embrace new experiences. Many leadership roles give pupils opportunities to assume responsibilities. House captains and sports leaders help to organise school events. The school council allows pupils to be included in decisions about the day to day life of the school. Many parents and carers value the school for its caring and nurturing ethos. They value the extensive support that they and their children receive through the work of the pastoral team.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should continue to embed the school's approach to further strengthen pupils' writing, providing them with the support they require to meet their learning needs.
