What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 December 2022

Pupils do exceptionally well here. Pupils arrive from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. They are all individually valued and challenged to do their best. Pupils leave having achieved highly, both academically and socially. Staff expect only the very best from the pupils in their care. Praise and recognition of success is at the heart of this school. Leaders celebrate any particularly impressive work with pupils every Thursday lunchtime at 'Proud'. Pupils frequently applaud each other in classrooms for their praiseworthy contributions. The culture of achievement and encouragement within the school is palpable. Pupils have high expectations of each other's behaviour and attitudes. All are treated with respect. Leaders challenge pupils not to be bystanders to negative behaviour. Bullying is taken seriously. Even the hint of bullying is dealt with at speed. Pupils feel safe and happy here.
