What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and inspirational school. They thrive here. Leaders have high expectations and an unrelenting ambition for the pupils in their care. The school café, the garden, and the school animals, provide exciting contexts for pupils to develop and practise skills. The parents and carers that inspectors spoke to said that learning is not just transferred to the community, it starts in the community. Pupils who may have struggled with school in the past really see the point of what they are learning. Pupils told inspectors that they feel safe at school. Staff are always on hand to help them with any worries. Pupils behave very well. Skilled staff support any pupil who struggles, so they can get back to learning. Pupils are confident that adults will quickly sort out any concerns about unkind behaviour or bullying. Parents and carers describe the staff as having 'unlimited patience, compassion and energy'. They are especially appreciative of the work of the headteacher and her dedicated leadership team.
