Inspectors praised pupils' involvement in a wide range of learning experiences in the school and the wider community.
It was highlighted that staff work closely with families to support young people in a caring environment and that youngsters of all ages are able to air their views and contribute to school issues.
Areas identified for improvement included improving transition arrangements for youngsters leaving school and making better use of learning time through more challenging teaching approaches.
