Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Under the highly ambitious leadership of the headteacher the school has continued to develop and build on the many strengths identified at the previous inspection.

Pupils of all abilities and from different backgrounds achieve outstandingly well in English and mathematics, often from very low starting points. As a result of their strong basic skills in English, mathematics and information and communication technology, together with very positive attitudes to learning, pupils are extremely well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils achieve so well because of the outstanding quality of teaching over time.

Teaching ...is highly imaginative, tailored to the needs of all the pupils and encourages them to think for themselves. Pupils take great pride in their school, really enjoy learning and behave extremely well in lessons and around the school. Those with behavioural and emotional difficulties often improve significantly in their attitudes and readiness to learn.

Pupils feel extremely safe in school and have every confidence in the adults around them to deal with any issues that arise. Leaders at all levels, including governors, have focused very successfully on improving the quality of teaching since the previous inspection. Through close teamwork, support and regular checks, teachers are helped to be become highly effective in their work.

Pupils really enjoy the exciting and high quality opportunities they are provided with to participate in sport, dance, drama music and art. The school makes excellent use of the rich local resources of the Dockland and Central London area to make learning exciting and relevant to the pupils. The school promotes pupils' social, moral, spiritual and cultural development very effectively.

As a result the school is a very harmonious community where pupils of all backgrounds get on very well together.

The proportion of pupils joining or leaving the school at unusual times is much higher than is the case in most schools.

The school meets the government's current floor standard, which sets the minimum expectation for pupils' attainment and progress. Inspectors were aware during this inspection that a serious incident had occurred since the previous inspection. While Ofsted do not have the power to investigate incidents of this kind, actions taken by the setting in response to the incident were considered alongside the other evidence available at the time of the inspection to inform inspectors' judgements.
