What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils happily participate in all aspects of the life of this vibrant and nurturing school. They rise to the school's very high expectations of behaviour by conducting themselves impeccably, in lessons and at social times. Pupils know that staff expect them to work very hard and achieve their best. They listen intently, follow instructions immediately and use every opportunity to learn. In the Reception Year, children quickly learn to choose appropriate activities and resources independently. As they move up the school, pupils develop increasing skills in independent study and in assessing and improving their own work. In all phases of the school, pupils make exceptional progress through the curriculum and achieve highly. The school prepares pupils exceptionally well for the next stages in their education and future lives. From the early years, children learn about people whose lives are different from their own, including in culture and religion. As they move up the school, pupils show an increasing understanding of the diversity of modern Britain and celebrate it with enthusiasm. Pupils are proud of their leadership roles in the school. They undertake a wide range of responsibilities, such as being subject ambassadors who organise after- school clubs and activity days. In an increasingly mature way, pupils understand about healthy relationships and consent.
