In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic: The standard of pupils’ work, including that of children in the early years, is high and pupils make good progress across a range of subjects.[9]
Warmth: Leaders and staff prioritise building highly positive relationships with pupils. They know pupils well and act quickly if a pupil needs support or guidance.[9]
Pastoral care: Leaders and staff throughout the school maximise opportunities to prioritise the wellbeing of pupils across all aspects of school life They have supported leaders’ creation of a wellbeing room for pupils and have provided training for staff to become mental health first aiders[9]
Behaviour: Pupils are confident and show mature levels of self-discipline and care for each other. Bullying is rare and there is low tolerance for unkind behaviour.[9]
Learning support: Staff provide additional targeted support for pupils who have SEND, enabling them to access the curriculum and progress well. However, some teaching does not support the needs of all groups of pupils when teaching and learning activities are not adapted adequately.[9]
Enrichment: Opportunities include learning about robotics, playing chess and taking part in the performing arts.[9]
Pupil voice: This understanding is further embedded by the opportunities to vote for house captains, school council and eco-council representatives[9]
Independence: Pupils readily take responsibility for their own behaviour.[9]
Collaboration: Pupils mix with ease across age groups. They are keen to help and support their peers both inside and outside the classroom[9]
Structure: Staff use the values to reinforce high expectations for pupils’ conduct.[9]
Diversity: English is an additional language for five pupils.[9]
Sport: Many pupils enjoy the sporting opportunities available and relish the chance to take part in competitive fixtures and tournaments.[9]
Performing arts: Music and drama performances are a regular feature of the school year.[9]
Visual arts: Leaders have committed to specialist teaching in creative subjects, which has ensured pupils receive an enthusiastic and thorough introduction to these subjects. The art department have adopted a local telephone box as a community gallery.[9]
