What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Pupils thrive in this happy, nurturing school. Children in the early years, along with any new pupils across the school, are given a warm welcome. They settle into school life quickly. Relationships between adults and pupils are exceptionally strong. Pupils strive to live up to the school's motto, ensuring that each step they make in their learning 'makes a big difference.' Pupils display exemplary behaviour throughout the school day. They are enthusiastic about the house points and 'star of the week' awards that they receive for following the school's 'golden rules. The school is extremely ambitious for its pupils. Pupils rise to the challenges that the school sets for them, both academically and socially. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly across the curriculum. By the time pupils leave Year 6, they are exceptionally well prepared for their move to secondary school. Pupils are proud to be part of this special community. They spoke enthusiastically about the vast array of high-quality enrichment activities on offer. For example, pupils enjoy taking part in 'university' experiences such as woodwork, choir, cookery, lacrosse, and ukulele. Pupils are very proud of the success that the school's sports teams have enjoyed.
