What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

Pupils develop a love and thirst for learning in this safe and nurturing school. They are proud of their teachers because they always help them. Pupils are taught to have a go and keep going. They produce work that is consistently high-quality. The school has an extremely strong commitment to wanting all pupils to succeed. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The highly skilled staff team ensures that children have the best possible start to school life. Behaviour is exemplary. The respectful school culture is built on strong relationships. Pupils and staff work collaboratively. Pupils actively seek to make good choices. For example, in the Nursery, children share toys and older pupils help others who may be struggling to put on their shoes or find a lost coat. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They value the guidance and support the school provides in helping them support their children's learning. Staff go above and beyond in making a positive difference to the lives of the children and their families.
