What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
This is a very happy and purposeful school. It wholly succeeds in its ambition to nurture all pupils' hearts and minds. Everyone lives up to the school's core values of resilience, respect and responsibility. Staff and pupils enjoy excellent working relationships. Pupils know that staff will always look out for them, so they feel safe and well cared for. The school strives to ensure that all pupils achieve their very best, both academically and socially. Pupils gain extensive knowledge across a wide range of subjects. Staff skilfully make adaptations, including, where appropriate, to the teaching of the curriculum, to meet pupils' needs. These highly effective strategies mean that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are helped to meet their full potential. Pupils' behaviour, social and character development are superb. For example, right from Nursery, children are taught routines, how to respect all people and to be kind to each other. Pupil-led assemblies focus on current affairs and key moral issues. From Reception upwards, all pupils receive bi-annual basic first aid training so that they know what to do in an emergency. Pupils with high needs SEND benefit from a bespoke programme that helps them to develop their independence.
