What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils thrive at this nurturing and caring school in the heart of the community. They participate in the local 'Seed to Tree' project, which reflects their progress and growth during their time at the school. The school takes a highly personalised approach to every pupil's learning. This helps pupils to achieve very well. Pupils are extremely polite and confident. They develop their confidence through well-thought-through projects and experiences. For example, in Year 6, pupils participate in a Shakespeare production with other schools and the local theatre. There are mutually respectful relationships among pupils and staff. Pupils talk with confidence about respect and tolerance at an age-appropriate level. They show these important values in the way they treat each other, regardless of any differences between them. Pupils' development beyond the classroom is prioritised. The 'well-being pupil action group' has thought about how it can support other pupils. It has designed a well- being garden for pupils to access in the playground. Pupils enjoy exploring philosophical issues through discussions held about 'life's big questions', such as 'why are we different?' This also helps them to understand that everyone has different views.
