What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2024

This is an exceptional school with a strong sense of community. Leaders, staff, parents and carers work together to give pupils an excellent start in education. The school's 'HEART' values underpin everything that happens here. Pupils are encouraged to be happy, enthusiastic, resilient and thoughtful so that they can achieve their best. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They show a zest for learning and take huge pride in their school. Pupils are safe here. They know that there is someone to talk to if they have any worries. For example, they have 'time to talk' wherein specially trained staff help pupils with any social or emotional issues. Pupils find it easy to make friends here. Typically, they said that it feels like everyone belongs here, and that no-one is left out. If any pupil were to find the playground too noisy or were to need a quiet space, pupils could go to 'calm club'. Pupils are keen to contribute to the school community. For example, older pupils volunteer to take on leadership responsibilities including as 'school ambassadors' or helping younger pupils with their reading. Pupils on the 'eco-council' help to tend the flowers, fruit and vegetables that have been planted by classes in the school's garden.
