What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

Pupils feel safe and happy at this welcoming school. The school provides a nurturing environment and instils a strong sense of respect. Pupils are highly motivated to learn, and their behaviour is exemplary. They are quick to follow instructions and develop confidence and resilience. This begins in Reception, where they are encouraged to build their independence and care for one another. The school's vision to be both inclusive and to create lifelong learners is deeply embedded in daily school life. The school develops pupils' knowledge through an ambitious curriculum, which is rooted in reading and developing a love of literature. Pupils approach their learning with curiosity and make excellent progress. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are proud of the work they produce. The school provides a range of enrichment opportunities to develop pupils' character and their awareness of the world around them. They go on trips to Hampton Court, the Isle of Wight, museums, farms and libraries. Pupils are also encouraged to support charity work and take active leadership roles at school, including as 'playground pals', anti-bullying ambassadors and members of 'the green team'. The school fosters a strong sense of community and works closely with families to ensure pupils reach their potential and thrive in a warm learning environment.
