What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 January 2024

This is a school where all pupils are expected to be the best they can be, both academically and pastorally. The school's values of resilience, respect and pride are interwoven through all aspects of school life. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional across the school. This is because pupils have been taught how to behave and because they want to do well. Pupils achieve very well across all areas of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy coming to this school. Warm, nurturing working relationships between adults and pupils permeate the school. Pupils know that if they have a worry, there is an adult who will listen to them. This means that they feel safe. Pupils take on positions of responsibility. This includes acting as Avenue ambassadors, well-being champions and reading champions. Reading champions are pupils in Year 6 who read with younger pupils. They take pride in their roles because they have been taught the importance of reading and helping others. Leaders have prioritised attendance. They are taking appropriate action so that the proportion of pupils who are persistently absent declines. The school provides a range of clubs including choir, lacrosse and football club. These activities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
