What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils arrive at school with a smile on their face and a skip in their step. They are welcomed by enthusiastic staff. Pupils are extremely happy and safe here. Staff have very high expectations of all pupils. The curriculum goes well beyond the academic. This enables pupils to be passionate and excited about their learning. Pupils have an excellent understanding of what makes healthy relationships and friendships. They have positive working relationships with staff across the school, who support and motivate them. In lessons and around the school, behaviour is exemplary. Staff know all pupils and their families incredibly well. All stakeholders describe the school as a 'family' and 'community'. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They are grateful of the strong and visible leadership and the quality education their children receive. The school encourages pupils to become positive members of the local and global community. For instance, through the school's 'Foulds Values'. School visits are carefully planned. There is a wealth of extra-curricular opportunities on offer, including gymnastics, Spanish, football and computing. These are extremely well attended by all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
