What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2023

Pupils flourish from the start at this school. There is a culture of high expectations and kind relationships. Pupils take great pride in their learning, with a gallery of their own artwork and a wide selection of books showcasing their own writing. Pupils are very well cared for. They know staff will keep them safe. From the early years, children learn about risks and to consider others' safety. Rules are simple, clear and followed by all. The youngest children learn to be kind, to listen and to be highly considerate of each other. Older pupils are tolerant and inclusive. They are proud to be part of a school culture where difference is welcomed and respected. Pupils remember, in depth, what they have learned. They are eager to share this knowledge with others. Memorable experiences enrich their learning. In Nursery, the children carefully study and discuss the vegetables they grow and harvest. Older pupils excitedly recall visits, such as to an Anglo-Saxon settlement. Pupils participate in an extensive range of clubs and extra-curricular activities that are highly tailored to their interests and talents. They are proud of the array of trophies won by individuals and teams at sports events.
