What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 March 2024
Pupils are very happy at this school. They really enjoy their learning in lessons and they have fun with their friends at break and lunchtime. Pupils know the values of their school well and they are keen to bring these to life. For example, pupils are kind to one another, they respect each other's differences and they aim to be positive. The school has high expectations of all pupils, including children in the early years. Children quickly learn routines so they are ready to learn. Leaders have made reading a priority so that pupils can access the broad range of subjects they learn through their time at school. Staff support all pupils to access the ambitious curriculum and pupils are extremely well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for their behaviour. For example, the 'high 5' approach gives pupils the skills they need to resolve issues quickly and without the need for staff intervention. This might include walking away from a situation or talking kindly to the other person involved. If these approaches do not work, pupils know to speak to an adult. Pupils trust staff to resolve any problems and, as a result, feel safe.
