What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils know and live the school's values of courage, honesty, love, compassion and hope exceptionally well. Pupils are extremely thoughtful and polite. They hold doors open for each other and take time to share kind words routinely. Pupils love the opportunity to apply for and carry out leadership roles, such as house captains, 'technology team' and school librarians. Older pupils act as 'buddies' to younger ones. Pupils take their roles and responsibilities seriously. Pupils make a genuine positive impact on the life of the school and their peers. Behaviour is impeccable. Pupils thrive due to the strength and warmth of relationships that surround the staff team and the whole school community. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and apply the behaviour policy fairly and consistently. If any pupils find managing their own behaviour challenging, they receive timely, considerate and effective support. Pupils attend school regularly. Staff have the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils reach these expectations. Staff are dedicated to all children and their families. The school's determination to make every day count ensures that pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are very well prepared for their next stage of education.
