What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Outstanding
“Pupils are enormously proud of their school. They feel happy and safe. Kindness is actively promoted by ‘kindness ambassadors’. The community ethos is embodied by the comment from one pupil that, ‘Just one kind word can change a person’s day.’ Leaders and teachers are highly ambitious for all pupils throughout the school, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send). There are curriculum drop-in sessions and sporting activities such as karate, fencing and football. In addition, there is a vast array of musical activities and clubs. As one pupil said, ‘There is something for nearly everyone, and if there isn’t, you just ask.’”
