What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
Pupils thrive in this highly ambitious school. The school inspires them to do their very best. Adults are resolute in ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have the best start to their educational journey. Pupils love coming to school. They work hard and achieve exceptionally well. Pupils feel safe in school. They are kind and respectful to each other. They enjoy the well- resourced outside environment, playing well together on the outside gym equipment they helped to choose. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe, including when online. They learn how to take responsibility for their choices and their actions. In addition, pupils trust adults to help them if they have a worry or concern. The school is rightly proud of the opportunities provided to enrich pupils' experiences. Performing in school productions and presenting their work to different audiences, including pupils from the neighbouring junior school, enables pupils to develop as confident and articulate young people. In addition, pupils enjoy making a difference to their local community, such as through promoting road safety outside the school. Furthermore, opportunities to learn from an illustrator and professional musicians inspire pupils to produce excellence in their work.
