Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils excel at this kind and nurturing school. They become knowledgeable 'global citizens' who love to learn and debate with their peers. Pupils achieve so highly because of the exceptional teaching and support that they receive. The values of 'love, respect and forgiveness' are embedded in the culture of the school. Pupils therefore become tenacious learners who tackle new problems intelligently and relish challenge. They learn from mistakes in their work, demonstrating maturity and self-reflection.
Behaviour is exemplary here. Pupils are joyful, kind and respectful. They welcome new pupils to the school with warmth and positivity. Classrooms are industrious places where pupils are expertly guided by staff. Pupils know that the rules and routines of the school keep them safe and prepare them well for life beyond school. They act with remarkable maturity during play times, organising themselves for quizzes and politely discussing their days so far.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has relentlessly high aspirations and expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is designed with precision to ensure that all pupils develop deep knowledge about every subject, with opportunities to think critically. Literature is embedded thoughtfully throughout the curriculum. Pupils love reading the carefully chosen range of high-quality texts. They read precisely, fluently and with enthusiasm. Pupils with SEND are identified quickly and highly appropriate support put in place. For example, where pupils need support with language, they participate in very effective 'warm up' sessions to learn new vocabulary before class discussions. This means that every pupil benefits from the excellent teaching throughout the school.
