What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2023
Pupils take pride in this happy, vibrant and exceptional school. Pupils talk with excitement and interest about their learning. Leaders and staff have created a culture of respect and kindness where everyone feels included. All pupils achieve well, and this is because ambition and inclusion are at the heart of the school's ethos. Staff seek out exciting opportunities to enrich pupils' learning and wider personal development. Pupils talked enthusiastically about the motivating range of visits and activities they experience at school. All pupils learn to play musical instruments from a young age. Many go on to play these to a highly competent level. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. From an early age they understand adults' high expectations, which they respond to very positively. Pupils trust staff to look after them. Bullying is rare and pupils know staff will deal with any concerns. Pupils described school as a happy, friendly and safe place. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the community spirit leaders have created. They value the focus leaders place on pupils' personal as well as academic development. Pupils have many opportunities to take on different responsibilities across the school. These roles include 'Learning Ambassadors', who promote learning, 'Anti- Bullying Ambassadors' and 'Healthy Eating Heroes'.
