What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

This is a joyous and caring school where pupils learn much. The attention to every individual shines out. Whether pupils excel or need extra help, this school meets their needs. Teachers organise lessons well and academic standards are high. These high expectations are also reflected in pupils' excellent behaviour. Typically, pupils are kind to one another and look for ways to be helpful. Bullying is not a problem. Nevertheless, school staff are quick to act if any issues between pupils occur. Opportunities beyond the classroom are extensive. The school makes the most of its access to Eastnor estate to support outdoor learning. On top of this, the range of clubs and extra activities is truly exceptional. From poetry to public speaking and orienteering to Latin, there is always something fascinating and worthwhile to get stuck into. Right from the start, communication with home is top-notch. The school makes its expectations very clear, and provides parents and carers with plenty of information. Parents appreciate this and are highly supportive. This effective partnership supports pupils to make the most of school. Pupils' attendance is high. They enjoy school, feel safe and are motivated to do their very best. It is a great little school.
