What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 March 2025

The school welcomes all pupils. They flourish in a culture of care and kindness. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) feel valued and included. The schools' high ambition for pupil achievement is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to learning. Pupils are tenacious in their pursuit of knowledge. They are proud of their attainment and the progress they make. The school has equally high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils' manners are flawless. The school's focus on respect shows in their words and actions. Classes are rarely disrupted, and playtimes are safe and joyful. Pupils blossom in the school's positive atmosphere. They feel safe and able to voice their opinions and thoughts with each other and adults. The school's effectiveness in developing the whole child is clear across the school. Pupils sensibly debate mature issues and complex concepts. For example, their knowledge of current affairs and careers shows maturity beyond their years. They delight in the opportunities the school provides. Pupils in the mainstream and the special resourced provision have opportunities to compete together in boccia and curling with enormous success. Pupils appreciate experiences such as visiting the RAF museum. They make effective connections to the learning linked to this.
