What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This is a school where staff have high aspirations for pupils. High standards are set, not just for academic success, but for personal achievements also. As a result, pupils achieve highly, despite some challenging contextual issues. They leave the school well prepared for their secondary education. Pupils learn the school's routines quickly. They take responsibility for their actions. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in the classroom and around the school building. This helps pupils to feel safe and protected. Pupils and their families benefit from all that the school has to offer, such as the work the school does to guide parents and carers to support their children's learning at home. The school provides opportunities and experiences that nurture pupils' understanding of what it means to be a responsible citizen. Pupils take on responsibilities with pride, such as becoming members of the pupil parliament or neurodiversity ambassadors. They fundraise for charity and make positive contributions to their community, for example by hosting food and clothing banks and visiting care homes to provide gifts, or to read to residents. Pupils are humble, kind and highly respectful of different cultures, faiths and backgrounds.
