What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

Pupils thrive in this welcoming and friendly school. They are proud to be part of the learning community. Pupils show genuine warmth and care to each other and towards staff. They are happy and safe. The school is highly ambitious for pupils' achievement, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils become curious, independent thinkers with a thirst for knowledge. They are determined to keep trying, showing high levels of focus in their learning. Pupils are rightly proud of the work that they produce in a range of subjects. They achieve highly across the curriculum. The school has created a culture where pupils understand how to learn. Children in the early years listen attentively to adults. They relish joining in with others. Pupils demonstrate highly positive attitudes to learning during lessons. They show respect and consideration for their peers. Behaviour is impeccable across the school. The school takes every opportunity to provide pupils with a wealth of rich experiences. It weaves these through the curriculum, alongside an array of clubs, trips and visits. The school supports pupils to build their confidence and to be resilient to any setbacks or challenges that they may encounter. For example, outdoor learning, performing in a Shakespearean play and sports competitions help pupils to foster a 'can-do' attitude.
