We received our most recent visit from OFSTED on 13th June 2024. This was an ungraded (section 8) inspection and there was been no change to this school’s overall judgement of good as a result of this inspection. However, the evidence gathered suggests that the inspection grade might be outstanding if a graded (section 5) inspection were carried out now. Therefore, the school’s next inspection will be a graded inspection.
Some stand-out quotes from our inspection report include the description that,
'Pupils develop charisma, confidence and curiosity.'
'Active participation in lessons helps staff identify and assist pupils who need extra help. As a result, many pupils excel, including in statutory assessment tests.'
'Kind and respectful behaviour is customary.'
'A focus on teaching values helps to nurture empathy among pupils.'
'Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. This is because the school fosters a strong sense of community. It proactively builds relationships and sets expectations from the start.'
