From Ofsted's December 2024 inspection report.
What This School Does Well
This is a caring school where pupils thrive both academically and personally. Teachers build strong relationships with families, provide excellent support for struggling readers and those with additional needs, and create a safe, happy environment where girls are respectful and well-behaved. The school places real emphasis on reading and ensures pupils progress securely through a well-organised curriculum.
Key Strengths
- Exceptional behaviour and attitudes - pupils are highly focused, respectful and supportive of each other
- Strong reading provision with daily stories, effective phonics teaching and a library pupils love
- Excellent support for pupils with SEND through specialist training and rapid identification of needs
- Well-organised curriculum where subject knowledge builds progressively from early years through to secondary
- Caring, supportive school culture where pupils feel happy, safe and well-looked after
Areas for Improvement
- Personal development and PSHE curriculum does not meet all statutory requirements - secondary pupils do not receive required teaching on respectful relationships and legal rights under the Equality Act 2010
- Some subjects in primary phase lack clear sequencing, leaving pupils not fully prepared for secondary learning
- Leadership and management requires improvement - the proprietor does not ensure all independent school standards are met consistently
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with high priority given to safeguarding systems and procedures that are checked regularly for compliance against statutory guidance.
Extracurricular Activities
School performances featuring singing and dancing, set design, educational visits to museums and attractions, seaside trips, camping trips for older pupils
