What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils are very happy and proud of their school. They cherish all the learning and multiple enrichment activities on offer. Absence rates are exceptionally low. The school is determined to ensure that every pupil can achieve their very best. From the early years upwards, pupils progress extremely well through the curriculum. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are extremely well prepared for the next stages of their education, for example, when they move to secondary school. Pupils and staff enjoy very strong and trustful working relationships. These are established right from the start of the Nursery Year. There is a highly respectful ambiance that permeates across the school. Pupils value interacting with, learning about and celebrating each other's cultures. Pupils have extensive empathy for each other. For example, they are understanding of and supportive to their peers, who may need help with their emotional regulation. The school provides pupils with a range of leadership opportunities. These include being 'captains', eco-warriors, sports ambassadors and playground buddies. Pupils must apply for these positions. If successful, they attend induction training. These opportunities build pupils' understanding of how to serve the community and what is involved in applying for a job.
