Ofsted / School Context
We are a 'Good' school. Our February 2024 Ofsted recognised that:
"The majority of pupils want to do well. They understand that their teachers want them to achieve high standards. Pupils trust the teachers who have developed positive relationships with them. They work hard for these teachers and produce high quality work."
"The school has redesigned its curriculum. It has thought carefully about how to inspire pupils. The school has a well-planned and ambitious programme of learning. The school has ensured that the curriculum reflects the diversity of modern life. Pupils explain how they celebrate difference. The school has planned so all pupils have access to the curriculum without limitation. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)."

Students develop deep understanding of complex and abstract concepts. Students confidently apply these to different situations, effectively drawing together what they know."
