What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

This is an exceptional school. Leaders' relentless focus on providing the highest possible quality of education enables all pupils in the school to excel. Pupils are hard-working, passionate and highly articulate. Leaders have extremely high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This enables all pupils to achieve very highly. There is a strong sense of community in the school. This includes for parents and carers who can attend the morning coffee shop and are regularly invited into the school. Staff have built extremely positive relationships with pupils. They know the pupils very well which ensures they are kept safe. Leaders have created a calm, orderly and welcoming environment. Pupils are extremely happy here. Behaviour is exemplary during lessons and around the school site. Pupils all take part in a very broad range of wider opportunities. Every pupil represents the school in a sporting competition by the time they reach Year 6. Pupils also attend a range of clubs, including street dance, cartoon club and choir. Pupils contribute to the school community in a variety of ways, including working on the school allotment, joining the school council and supporting younger pupils with reading.
