What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 October 2023

Pupils thrive in this exceptional school. The school is ambitious in its vision and provision. Highest expectations are set for learning and behaviour. Pupils consistently meet these high expectations. Staff and pupils embrace and live the school's values of 'respect, kindness, courage, honesty, cooperation and creativity'. Pupils are enthusiastic and passionate about their school. They are wonderful school ambassadors. They are safe, happy and want to be at school. Staff help pupils recognise their feelings and emotions. Pupils know the importance of the school's 'blue butterfly' safeguarding symbol. They know how to share with a trusted adult. Pupils have countless opportunities to engage with a wide range of experiences. These include musical, sporting, learning and creative opportunities. The annual 'soiree' celebrates pupils' many performing arts skills and talents. Pupils are very proud of their leadership roles, for example as recycling monitors, computing technicians and subject ambassadors. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent, echoing the views of many, stated: 'This is a fantastic school. It offers a wide range of activities outside the curriculum. It has a fantastic range of facilities. The staff are friendly and professional. I couldn't be happier with this school.'
