Leaders have carefully planned a wide-ranging enrichment programme … Pupils value these opportunities and say that there is something for everyone to do. Pupils and staff speak about the ‘Arden family’ —  where no one is left out. The positive relationships between staff and pupils are a joy to observe. Leaders have planned a curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils. This includes disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send). Teachers share leaders’ high ambition and say that they ‘do not teach classes but individual children’.”
