In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
Pupils across all sections of the school achieve well and make good progress. Older pupils are successful in gaining places at selective senior schools[7]
Warmth
Warm relationships between pupils and staff enable pupils to feel safe and confident.[7]
Pastoral care
Leaders, governors and staff work effectively to promote pupils’ emotional wellbeing. They understand the importance of mental wellbeing and know how to access support when needed.[7]
Behaviour
Pupils behave well. They understand the importance of good behaviour to enable learning. Rare cases of bullying are managed promptly and effectively by leaders in accordance with the school’s policy.[7]
Learning support
Pupils make good progress in response to the effective implementation of tailored strategies and rigorous tracking.[7]
Enrichment
These include multi-sport clubs, judo, orchestra and choir, along with debating and chess, in which deeper critical thinking skills are developed.[7]
Pupil voice
This has led to changes in the school, including a new artificial covering in the playground and the introduction of a touch-typing club.[7]
Collaboration
Pupils have many opportunities to learn different musical instruments, perform in concerts and work collaboratively in school plays and productions throughout the year.[7]
Structure
There is a system of rewards and sanctions, which is applied consistently.[7]
Diversity
The school has identified English as an additional language for a very small number of pupils.[7]
Sport
All pupils participate in PE lessons and those in Year 3 and above all play in competitive fixtures against other schools[7]
Performing arts
Pupils have many opportunities to learn different musical instruments, perform in concerts and work collaboratively in school plays and productions throughout the year.[7]
Visual arts
The creative and aesthetic curriculum is carefully planned to provide pupils with opportunities to develop skills across a wide range of disciplines, including music, drama and art, which are taught by subject specialists.[7]
