On 19th and 20th March 2024, we welcomed Ofsted into our school, and are delighted to now share that we secured a GOOD rating in every judgement area. This is a milestone moment for our school. To make the progress that we have is remarkable, and it is right that we recognise the support we have received from so many parents, the dedication and commitment of our staff and, above all else, how well our brilliant students have adapted to new expectations and grasped all the opportunities on offer.
鈥
As you will see from the report, Ofsted found that our school has 鈥渉igh expectations鈥, students can access 鈥渁 richer, more ambitious curriculum鈥 and there is an 鈥渋nclusive and accepting environment鈥 that helps to 鈥渞aise pupils鈥 aspirations of what they can achieve鈥.
鈥
In addition, inspectors also found that students 鈥減roduce work of a high standard鈥, staff have access 鈥渢o high-quality training鈥, there are 鈥渆ffective systems鈥 for children with additional needs and they 鈥渁re well supported鈥, and that 鈥渂ullying of all kinds is rare.鈥
鈥
There, of course, remains work to be done. This outcome is just the start of our next chapter, not the end of the story. We will continue to address the areas we already knew needed further strengthening and will use this report as the platform to continue on the very positive trajectory that we are on.
