What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

This is a highly ambitious school where pupils benefit from an excellent quality of education. The school has very high expectations of pupils, who strive to meet them. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. They benefit hugely from the warm and respectful relationships that they have with staff. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are consistently thoughtful, kind and considerate towards each other and adults. From the time they start in Reception, children learn to communicate effectively and share problems they might have. For example, pupils write down their worries in each class and discuss any concerns with a trusted adult. Skilled staff help pupils think about the feelings behind their behaviour. This helps pupils to focus effectively on their learning. Pupils embrace roles of responsibility and make meaningful contributions to the school community, for example by becoming reading ambassadors or part of the litter picking team. Pupils are proud of their roles because they understand the value of helping others. Pupils know that their views contribute to making their school a better place, for example through the newspaper club where pupils write articles about what matters to them. The school ensures pupils visit different places of worship. This helps to develop pupils' tolerance towards people with other beliefs and faiths.
