The report said: “The way in which leaders and staff cater for pupils’ personal development works wonderfully. Pupils and parents alike value the ample extra-curricular offerings.

“These include a pleasing range of clubs and inter-school competitions, allowing pupils to mix and mingle with peers. It shows in pupils typically being charismatic and confident in social situations.”

The report also points out that children with special educational needs typically thrive at the school, and that pupils achieve well and are keen to demonstrate what they know.
