What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils thrive and flourish at this exciting, nurturing and inclusive school. The headteacher and staff are united in their ambition for every pupil to achieve their very best, academically and personally. They are determined that all pupils leave the school as confident individuals who develop a love of learning for life. There is an extremely purposeful atmosphere, with happy pupils enjoying learning in every classroom. Leaders' expectations are high, and this is reflected in pupils' exemplary behaviour and attitudes. Bullying is not a problem. Pupils have complete confidence that staff will quickly help them to sort out any issues should they occur. Pupils feel safe in school and well looked after by kind, encouraging and caring adults. Children in Reception settle well and learn the routines of the school very quickly. Pupils very ably demonstrate the school's five key values of confidence, ambition, perseverance, empathy and success. Pupils take great pride in their school and their achievements. Leaders plan a wealth of opportunities to enrich the curriculum. Pupils benefit enormously from these first-hand experiences. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school and its leadership. They describe it as 'more than a school, but a community', 'absolutely fantastic' and a 'wonderful, caring, amazing school'.
