What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Individuality, integrity and resilience are school values that pupils embody at this exceptional school. Pupils are provided with the best possible start to education. This stems from the high levels of ambition the school has for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils excel in the rich range of academic, moral and social learning opportunities that the school provides for them. Pupils strive to meet the high expectations of behaviour that the school has. This begins from the moment children join the Reception Year. Pupils learn the importance of respect and generosity towards one another. Older pupils understand that they can bring happiness to others through something as simple as passing on a compliment. Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school. They highlight their strong friendships and positive relationships with staff as some of the reasons why. Pupils who need extra help to manage their emotions are ably supported by nurturing staff. Pupils thrive in the wide range of leadership opportunities that are available. These range from being charity leaders through to reading buddies. Whatever role a pupil takes on, working hard to benefit others sits at the heart of what they do.
