Inspection excerpt
Verbatim from the published report (School inspection School inspection · 08 July 2025). Open the full PDF for context.
Pupils bubble with enthusiasm when they talk about their school. Being a pupil here is like belonging to a big family with relatives all around the world. Whenever pupils join, great care is taken to settle them into school life. New arrivals who speak English as an additional language (EAL) are admirably supported by ‘young interpreters’.
