What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 May 2024
This is a happy, caring and thoroughly inclusive school. This is evident in the way that pupils play with their friends, including those in the specially resourced provision. Pupils are proud of their school and their personal achievements. For example, pupils value receiving the 'Charlotte Wicker' award for working hard and demonstrating the school's values of 'respect' and 'resilience'. Pupils achieve well here across a range of subjects. Pupils are incredibly well behaved. This starts in the two-year-old provision where children are taught to share and collaborate well. Across the school, pupils work hard to 'be the best they can be'. Kind, nurturing relationships exist between pupils and staff. Pupils are confident that if they have a worry or a concern that there is an adult who will listen and help them. This helps pupils to feel safe. There are a range of opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. For example, older pupils take pride in looking after the library and recommending books to their classmates. Pupils enjoy the wide range of enrichment activities on offer, such as choir, gardening and football club. These opportunities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
