What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Pupils thrive at this highly inclusive school. Pupils understand and model the school's values, such as being resilient and aspirational, wonderfully. Older pupils love the responsibilities that they hold at school, such as eco, reading and well-being leaders. Pupils are kind and respectful towards each other. From the start of the early years, pupils learn the school's routines and expectations strongly. Pupils understand British values and how these relate to their lives inside and outside of school. Pupils develop confidence and care for each other impressively. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils respond well to the warm and caring provision from staff throughout the setting. Staff apply the school's behaviour policy consistently and fairly. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs identified quickly. The school works closely with families and external agencies, such as speech and language therapists, where necessary, to ensure that pupils with SEND receive the support that they need. Staff have the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils take great pride in reaching these expectations. Pupils achieve highly across all areas of the curriculum, including reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils feel included, safe and happy. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of education.
