What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Pupils love coming to school. Staff know pupils very well and provide the support and guidance they need. Leaders have very high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. Pupils thrive on the challenge of meeting these expectations. The strong working relationships between pupils, their families and school are central to helping pupils to succeed. Pupils are safe, and know there are many ways to seek support if they need it. They know teachers will listen to any worries. This includes speaking to a mental health first aider during 'bubble time'. Staff are vigilant, and quick to respond to any bullying. Pupils have faith in them to sort problems out promptly. Pupils are polite, confident and show a keen awareness of the needs of others. They get on exceptionally well with, and are encouraging of, each other. Leaders ensure pupils have many opportunities to take on responsibilities, such as being an 'expert club leader' or 'curriculum ambassador'. These help to develop pupils' independence and confidence. Pupils' grasp of British values, including democracy, helps them to understand how to influence change. For example, the school's environmental council considered the sustainability of ingredients used in school meals.
