What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

Pupils are happy and kept safe at school. They feel leaders include them in discussions around safety and trust their teachers wholeheartedly, confident to raise any worries they may have. Pupils are confident that leaders will deal with any such concerns swiftly. Pupils are highly respectful and polite. They greet visitors warmly and are generous and kind towards each other. There is an atmosphere of harmony and peace. Pupils move around the corridors safely and considerately while happily chatting with their friends. In classrooms, pupils are industrious, focused and hardworking, demonstrating exemplary attitudes towards their learning. Pupils benefit from an exceptionally ambitious curriculum. They consistently rise to meet the high expectations that are set for them, and they set for themselves. They are fully engaged, taking responsibility for their learning. As a result, they achieve highly in a broad range of subjects. Through both the religious and secular curriculum, pupils learn about fundamental British values and different faiths and cultures. They strongly believe in, and demonstrate, respect for all, including those who have different beliefs.

What the school should improve

• Aspects of the PSHE curriculum are newly designed and implemented. While pupils demonstrate a developing awareness of the protected characteristics, some aspects lack depth and specificity. The school must ensure that its well-designed curriculum in this area is fully implemented.
