In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic: pupils across the school receive appropriate support, make good progress from their starting points and achieve well.[7]
Warmth: Leaders actively promote mutual respect and tolerance between all groups of pupils creating a respectful, confident and happy community.[7]
Pastoral care: Safeguarding and pastoral arrangements for supporting pupils are highly effective in promoting pupil wellbeing. trained emotional and literacy assistants provide additional support for pupils' mental health and emotional wellbeing in a designated wellbeing space in school.[7]
Behaviour: Any poor behaviour including bullying is dealt with quickly, resulting in a harmonious atmosphere in school where pupils are happy and enjoy learning.[7]
Learning support: Leaders implement effective procedures for early identification of additional needs Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress because their needs are consistently met.[7]
Enrichment: Pupils have numerous opportunities to develop their existing interests and to identify new areas of interest. Pupils believe this aspect of their education to be both challenging and exciting.[7]
Pupil voice: leaders trained some of the older pupils as equality ambassadors to develop their own and others understanding of harmful behaviours through participating in the active school council run by senior pupils.[7]
Independence: Most lessons facilitate learning through a range of well-chosen activities enabling pupils to be active learners. Staff support pupils to develop effective study skills and older pupils can confidently identify ways of working which help them to learn.[7]
Collaboration: Teaching in most lessons engages pupils to develop their collaborative skills and to be active learners.[7]
Structure: Staff have high expectations and challenge pupils if their behaviour falls below expectations. Leaders ensure pupils are actively involved in developing school rules with each class drawing up its own charter of behaviour.[7]
Diversity: They are aware of differences and are tolerant of others.[7]
Sport: Leaders provide pupils with many opportunities to develop their physical and mental health through the extensive physical education and games programme supported by a good range of sporting extra-curricular clubs in appropriate and well-resourced spaces.[7]
