Inspectors noted that: ‘Leaders and governors, inspired by the headteacher, share a powerful commitment to an ambitious vision for all aspects of the school’s work. As a result, they have created a culture that enables pupils and staff to excel. Teachers are determined that pupils do well and they have high expectations for pupils’ outcomes. Pupils love learning, are resilient to failure and thrive in lessons. They are confident, articulate learners.’

During the inspection, inspectors judged that the effectiveness of leadership and management; the quality of teaching, learning and assessment; the personal development, behaviour and welfare of pupils and outcomes for pupils were all outstanding.
