What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils, staff, parents and carers are immensely proud of the school community and rightly so. Pupils flourish academically and personally at this warm and nurturing school. Pupils feel safe and happy in school. They enjoy learning and appreciate the many enrichment opportunities that are provided for them. Relationships between staff, pupils and their families are strong. From the moment children join the school, behaviour is exemplary. A purposeful and calm atmosphere pervades through the school. Pupils demonstrate the school's core values of respect, compassion, courage and perseverance throughout all aspects of school life. The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need to access the full curriculum. This enables all pupils to live up to the high academic expectations and achieve exceptionally well. The school plans a range of opportunities for pupils to develop as community-minded citizens. Pupils feel the school really values their views. Many take on leadership roles and share their ideas about improving the school. Playground buddies and anti-bullying ambassadors act as role models for other pupils. Pupils have an acute understanding of what is fair and right. They understand the importance of thinking of others through their charity work.
