"Pupils throughout the school have a highly developed sense of empathy and responsibility and pupils exhibit positive behaviour... and are welcoming and polite.
"They support one another, celebrate differences and contribute positively to the school community."
The quality of teaching was also praised.
The report said: "Teaching throughout the school encourages pupils to think critically, reflect purposefully and articulate their ideas confidently across subjects."
"Leaders have established a curriculum that focuses on developing inspirational leaders and changemakers.
