Ofsted Report March 2025

We are delighted to share the final report from our recent Ofsted Inspection with you. One of the highlights from the report for us is that they recognise what we do to ensure a high quality education whilst ensuring that children feel safe and secure, “The school fosters an environment that is aspirational for the achievement of all groups of pupils. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the same opportunities as their peers because they are well supported to be successful. Pupils try hard and achieve well overall. Staff know pupils extremely well and understand their needs. Pupils know that adults will listen and help them if they have a worry. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe."
