What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2024

Pupils flourish in the caring and supportive environment of this happy school. They thoroughly enjoy learning and value their education. Pupils work with grit and resilience to meet the ambitious goals that are set by their teachers. They achieve very well. An atmosphere of warmth and mutual respect permeates the school. Pupils champion one another and proudly celebrate the successes of their peers. They take care of the school environment and support each other well. For example, pupils look out for anyone who may be alone at playtime. Year 6 'butterfly buddies' help the 'caterpillar children' in the Reception class to quickly settle in and to feel part of the school's community. The school is careful to ensure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), participate fully in school life. For instance, the school provides an extensive variety of sports and physical activities and ensures that pupils have the chance to represent the school in sports events. Clubs and activities are regularly reviewed in consultation with pupils, to ensure that the offer helps to develop pupils' talents and interests. A wide selection of clubs are very well attended, including construction, coding, yoga and book clubs.
