What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils strive to meet leaders' high expectations of their achievement and behaviour. Pupils aspire to become the 'best people that they can be'. They glow with pride when they receive badges in recognition of their efforts. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and at social times. Their conduct helps to create a calm and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. Pupils trust staff to deal sensitively with any worries that they may have. If bullying is reported, leaders act quickly and effectively. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils achieve highly and make remarkable progress from their starting points. Children in the early years are exceptionally well prepared for key stage 1, while pupils in Year 6 are more than ready for the challenges of the key stage 3 curriculum. Pupils relish their various roles of responsibility. These include being a school councillor, prefect or anti-bullying ambassador. Pupils make a highly tangible contribution to school life through these roles. Pupils are happy in school. They spoke enthusiastically about the vast array of clubs and opportunities available to them. These help pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to discover and nurture unexplored talents and interests. This contributes strongly to pupils' personal development.
