What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

Pupils at this school thrive. The school has high aspirations for all pupils to do their very best. Staff understand what pupils need to succeed, both academically and pastorally. They create a climate for learning that enables all pupils to feel safe and take risks. One pupil, who shares the views of many, explained, 'teachers get our activities just right. We get to think hard, but not too hard.' Lessons are tailored to meet the needs of all pupils, and activities stimulate pupils' curiosity. As a result, pupils achieve exceptionally well. The school's values of 'Respect, Achieve, Enjoy and Believe' are demonstrated in all aspects of school life. Pupils have positive relationships with each other and the staff. Pupils have very strong attitudes to learning and their behaviour is impeccable. The school offers an extensive range of opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests. Participation in events and experiences within the local community and across the multi- academy trust enables pupils to consider their own aspirations. Pupils enjoy their opportunities to become leaders, and they take these responsibilities seriously. The school council enjoys working on projects such as promoting 'acts of kindness' to complete the silver Blue Peter badge.
