What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

From the early years, nurturing relationships with adults help children feel secure at this school. Pupils take responsiblity for making the school a harmonious place for everyone. Older pupils help their younger buddies to settle in. Pupils help each other with classroom tasks. They make sure other pupils are included at playtimes. Staff help pupils to reflect on how they can be kind to others within and outside the school. Pupils collect items for a foodbank and write to local care home residents, for instance. Staff have high expectations. They provide excellent support to ensure that pupils achieve high outcomes across the curriculum, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This begins in the early years, where adults expertly extend children's knowledge and language. Children get off to a very strong start. The school provides a comprehensive wider offer which is of excellent quality. Wide ranging activities such as cooking, curling and drama are strongly taken up. Many pupils take instrumental music tuition. The school's rich selection of educational visits extends pupils' learning across the full breadth of the curriculum. The school provides ambitious opportunities. For example, pupils take part in an opera production in Year 6.
