What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils delight in attending this exceptional school. They bask in the care and support that the school provides. This begins in the early years, where children are nurtured by warm and welcoming staff. Pupils love to learn and have a great thirst for knowledge. The school has an unwavering ambition for pupils' achievement. Pupils proudly rise to meet these high expectations. They achieve extremely well across the curriculum. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), behave impeccably well. They embody the school's values in all that they do. They are extremely considerate towards each other and to staff. Pupils spoke animatedly about the many ways in which they contribute to the life of the school and the wider community. They particularly appreciate the strong links that they have with pupils in a school in Uganda. These, and other experiences, help them to appreciate and respect people from different backgrounds and cultures to their own. Pupils described the school as 'a family', where everyone works together in harmony to achieve their best. Parents and carers, who shared their views with inspectors, could not praise the school highly enough. They felt very much a part of this tight- knit community.
