What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2022
Leaders have filled the school with a culture of high aspirations. They have established a strong sense of collective identity within which pupils are encouraged to be themselves. Leaders are successful in developing pupils' character. They encourage their inquisitiveness, resilience, independence, humility and kindness. Pupils strive to demonstrate these values. Pupils' behaviour is composed and mature. Pupils are safe. Bullying is not tolerated. If it happens, leaders and teachers ensure it stops. Leaders' expectations are consistently high for all pupils. Teachers support all pupils effectively to learn the curriculum. In class, pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are very positive. They support each other to try hard, be independent and take calculated risks. Pupils appreciate the unique range of extra-curricular activities that leaders organise. These include football, choirs and charity fundraising week. Pupils also have access to careers advice and take part in volunteering and visits abroad. Leaders ensure that all pupils have an equal opportunity to take part in all that the school has to offer.
