What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. This is driven by the high levels of ambition the school has for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school helps pupils face challenges, build resilience and become self- confident. Pupils embody these qualities through their approach to learning. Many of them, including pupils with SEND, achieve extremely well across the curriculum. The school has incredibly high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Adults are positive role models who inspire pupils to make the right choices. Pupils demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning from the start of their time in Reception. Across the school, behaviour is impeccable and learning is rarely interrupted. Pupils are caring, considerate and show great empathy towards others. The school is active in helping others in the local community. Pupils play a pivotal role in this. For example, pupils visit residents of a local care home and welcome them into school for events such as the school nativity play. This helps pupils to understand friendship and compassion towards others. Pupils thrive through the strong relationships they have with staff. They trust that staff will help them with any concerns or worries. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe in school.
