What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
This school is a happy learning community where pupils thrive. Teachers are aspirational for pupils' achievement. They equip pupils with highly effective learning behaviours that help them to succeed. Pupils take pride in their learning, and they enjoy sharing their vast knowledge. The school has created a strong climate for learning that enables all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to excel. Pupils, including children in the early years, behave impeccably and they treat each other with unwavering kindness and respect. Any disagreements are swiftly resolved with expert help from staff or those pupils on the anti-bullying council. Pupils recognise and celebrate the diversity within the school community. They have a deep appreciation of, and respect for, the differences between people. Pupils make a positive and tangible contribution to the promotion of the school's values. The support that they provide for each other is exceptional. For example, pupil leaders and pupil governors work closely with the school to enhance pupils' experiences. Staff make sure that all pupils can participate in, and make the best of, the vast array of clubs and activities on offer to them. Pupils act successfully to bring about improvements within the school environment and beyond the school gates. For example, pupils campaigned to have litter bins installed in the local area after carrying out a litter clean-up.
