What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
This school is a special place to be - a place where pupils thrive due to the care and dedication of the adults that support them. There exists a quiet determination to be the 'best they can be' for the community they serve, and an unwillingness to sit back and accept that things cannot be improved. Leaders at all levels model their high ambition with passion. Pupils feel safe because adults go 'above and beyond' to get to know them and their worries. Care for pupils is exemplary and staff leave 'no stone unturned' to ensure that pupils do well in their learning. They know that happy children are more likely to thrive, and many do. Pupils do well both academically and in their wider development. They demonstrate kindness and exceptional manners when interacting with others. They welcome visitors with an inquiring mind and enjoy showing them their school. Behaviour is exceptional and pupils speak of this being the case both in and outside of the classroom. The school's LEAD values support the curriculum. These values are successfully developing pupils' learning behaviours. Adults take every opportunity to teach how being 'determined' and 'adaptable' are important characteristics to show. Staff provide opportunities for pupils to demonstrate these during visits or when supporting others in their community.
