Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), thrive in this school. Relationships between pupils and staff are extremely positive. Due to the small class sizes, staff know all the pupils very well. This enables teachers to provide highly personalised support. Pupils appreciate this and are happy and safe in the school.
Staff have very high expectations for pupils in all aspects of school life. They are determined that all pupils will excel. As a result, all pupils in the school, including pupils with SEND, achieve extremely well.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have developed a highly ambitious curriculum. This includes extremely strong support for pupils with SEND. The curriculum is built to develop pupils' knowledge progressively over time. For example, in Year 7 music, pupils learn basic scales before moving on to learning about improvisation in Year 8.
Teachers have strong subject knowledge and present information clearly. Small class sizes enable staff to spend a significant amount of time with each pupil, allowing them to check understanding and address misconceptions swiftly.
