Music, sport, art and drama were also excellent, especially given the size of the school. Pupils enjoyed high-quality coaching in a good range of clubs.
Inspectors said children were “hugely supportive” of each other and showed “considerable sensitivity to those less fortunate than themselves.”
Ms Simon, a former deputy head who was interim head for three months until being appointed permanently last month, said she was “proud to be the new headteacher and excited to work with such a dedicated team of staff working alongside the parents and families”.
Samantha Leek QC, who became chairman of governors last September, said, “We are incredibly proud of the outcome of the inspection but will not rest on our laurels. We are committed to building upon the successes that we have enjoyed to date and to improving still further all aspects of provision at the school.”
