What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
There is a strong sense of community at this school. Pupils and staff form incredibly strong relationships. From the point that children join the school in the early years, they benefit from personalised support and guidance, which enables them to flourish. Pupils consistently live up to the high expectations that the school has for them. They achieve very well academically as well as developing the personal and social skills they need for life beyond school. Pupils value their education and demonstrate an impressive commitment to their learning. Their behaviour is exceptional and they take great pride in their achievements. The school ethos focuses on striving for constant improvement. This never comes at the expense of pupils' well-being. The school ensures that pupils have the tools they need to look after their mental health. Pupils make excellent contributions to the life of the school and the wider community. Some pupils lead reading, chess and cheerleading clubs for their peers. The eco-council provided helpful advice for local residents about how to use their new bins. Members of the school council organise charity events, including raising money to sponsor the education of a child in Africa.
