What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 January 2025

This school is a fantastic place to learn and make friends. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive. So, too, do other pupils. This is because of the school's high expectations of all its pupils. It removes barriers to pupils' learning and well- being successfully. The school gives pupils the maximum chances that it can, to help them to prosper. Pupils achieve highly and are exceptionally well prepared for their future lives. Pupils flourish in classrooms that are incredibly calm. On the occasions when an individual pupil needs extra help to manage their own feelings or behaviour, staff support pupils with great skill and sensitivity. This helps pupils to settle, feel at ease and be ready to learn. It also helps other pupils to enjoy their learning and to focus their attention. The school ensures that children in the early years and pupils in key stages 1 and 2 are safe. Pupils benefit from the school's exceptional provision of wider opportunities. For example, they play chess, make cross-country runs and explore more about reading or science at special clubs. Pupils love spending time at the school's allotment as well as cooking food. The school enables its pupils to be responsible, respectful British citizens.
