What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 June 2024

Pupils flourish at this warm and welcoming school. They easily live up to the school's values of courage, ambition for all, respect and excellence. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional during lessons and breaktimes. They are extremely caring towards everyone in the school community. For example, older pupils, in their roles as buddies, support younger children to settle quickly when they start at the school. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils readily rise to the challenges that the school sets for them, both academically and in their wider development. Pupils complete Year 6 with the knowledge, social skills and maturity needed to be well prepared for life at secondary school. They achieve exceptionally well. Many pupils eagerly assume positions of responsibility, and they make valuable contributions to school life. For example, digital leaders were the first to master new technology equipment, and they then taught other pupils how to use it successfully. Pupils are happy at school. They participate in a wealth of additional opportunities to broaden their experiences and talents. Clubs and activities include brass band, eco club, chess tournaments, sports teams and art club. Staff consider the different needs and interests of pupils when designing extra-curricular activities so that all pupils can be fully involved in the wider life of the school.
