What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils are delighted to come to this school each day. They succeed in modelling their school's 13 'superpowers', such as empathy, aspiration and self-control. Staff place great importance on nurturing pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This includes those pupils in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision). The school leaders have exceptionally high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Pupils, including those with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, consistently live up to or exceed these expectations. They achieve remarkably well. Pupils relish every opportunity to learn. They shine in all that they do. This is reflected in the outstanding quality of work that they produce, and the extent to which they can talk in depth about what they have learned. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are very attentive in lessons. From the beginning of the early years to Year 6, there is a calm and purposeful atmosphere across school. This enables pupils to focus completely on their learning. Staff ensure that the vast array of high-quality enrichment activities are accessible to all pupils. In particular, pupils value the strength of the music curriculum. They learn to sing, play musical instruments, form orchestras and bands. Pupils give performances at local events in their community.
