What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 November 2022
Pupils get off to an excellent start to their education at this school. They are happy and kept safe. Pupils said that this is because there are always adults there to help them. Pupils appreciate the worry box and dedicated email they can use to report any concerns they may have. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are polite and helpful. They are keen and willing to go the extra mile for others. Bullying is rare. If it does occur, it is dealt with swiftly by adults. Pupils are hardworking and produce work of high quality in different subjects. The broad and ambitious curriculum prepares pupils exceptionally well for the next stage of their education. Pupils across the school have access to a wide offer of enrichment opportunities. The curriculum in all subjects is enhanced by a programme of educational visits or workshops. For example, pupils have visited London Zoo and Richmond Park to support their learning in science. Pupils are rightly proud of their school and are keen to take on the wealth of responsibilities offered. For example, they can become members of the eco-council, school council or playground monitors. They take these responsibilities seriously because they know that their ideas are listened to. This helps them to understand the importance of democracy.
