What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 July 2024

Pupils are extremely happy in this school. They are enthusiastic, kind and enjoy learning. The school's motto is a 'little village school in the big city.' This is realised as staff know all their pupils and families extremely well. Staff have very strong working relationship with the pupils. This ensures that pupils are kept safe. Pupils' behaviour during lessons and around the school site is very positive. Leaders have high expectations and are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The development of pupils' character is a key feature of the school. All pupils take part in a range of experiences through completing the 'pupil passport'. Pupils regularly raise money for charity and all pupils have numerous opportunities to present in front of their peers. Pupils have access to an extremely broad range of wider opportunities in the school. Most pupils access the many clubs on offer. These include chess, computing and a range of sports clubs. Pupils all benefit from a variety of careers events. These include a trip to a university and talks from professionals, including an architect and members of the emergency services.
