What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Pupils enjoy the school's warm and welcoming community atmosphere. Right from the start of the Reception Year, staff make sure that they get to know every child and their family. This supports the school in meeting pupils' academic and welfare needs. Pupils and adults have very strong, respectful and trusting relationships. Pupils feel safe and value the care and support that the school gives them. They grow in confidence and develop a set of values that prepare them extremely well for future success and active citizenship. The school has extremely high ambitions for pupils' achievements. Pupils thrive academically across subjects as they progress through the school's curriculum. They gain a great deal of knowledge and a deep understanding. This prepares them exceptionally well for the next stages of their education. In lessons and at social times, pupils behave in a very mature manner. Pupils take a proactive role in fostering a well-mannered culture. For example, pupils are selected to become ambassadors who promote respectful conduct in school. These ambassadors identify and present certificates to pupils in assembly for demonstrating positive behaviours. Pupils develop their leadership skills and have many opportunities to make a strong contribution to school life. For example, the school council made recommendations to re-zone the playground to support safe and calm ball games. The school acted on this advice.
