What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils arrive each morning with a smile on their face and a skip in their step. They are greeted by warm and friendly staff. Pupils are extremely happy and safe here. Expectations for all pupils are extremely high. Learning starts as soon as pupils walk into their classrooms. They are clear of the routines and expectations, including children in the early years. Pupils are excited to get into their learning. Pupils are rightly proud to be part of this school. They value the care and support they get from all staff and the positive friendships they have formed. Staff expect the best behaviour of all pupils. As a result, behaviour is impressive, both inside and outside the classroom. Even though the school is spread over two sites, it operates as one close-knit school. For instance, pupils in Year 2 cross the road to have their lunch and attend assemblies. Staff know all pupils and their families very well. Families highly value the strong community links the school has forged over time. Pupils engage with groups in the community, helping raise money for charities and donating resources to support those in need. The pupils are being developed as global citizens.
