From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils thrive in a calm and supportive environment. They live up to the high expectations adults have for their behaviour and achievement. The school has fostered a sense of community, where pupils are happy and feel they belong. A strong ethos of respect is conspicuous throughout the school. This can be seen in how pupils care for each other and in their positive attitudes to staff and visitors. They are extremely courteous and polite. Pupils' behaviour throughout the school is exemplary. They play and learn together with friendliness and cooperation. In lessons, pupils are highly attentive and engaged. They are motivated to do their best and to meet the ambitious expectations of their teachers. Children in early years behave exceptionally well. They follow clear, well-established routines. They engage with expertly planned activities with focus and perseverance. The school provides a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and sporting activities. These are well attended including by pupils who are disadvantaged or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils fulfil leadership roles with pride. For example, school prefects oversee calm transitions from playtimes back into lessons with praise and encouragement for their peers.
