What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
This is a happy, inclusive school. Pupils enjoy coming to school every day because they are looked after well. It is a safe place for them. They are confident that they can seek help if they have any concerns. The school wants its pupils to be aspirational. Its commitment to providing pupils with the best possible experience permeates the excellent curriculum. Pupils respond to this by working hard in lessons. They succeed highly across all subjects and achieve exceptionally well in writing by the end of Year 6. The school has high expectations for behaviour. It sets out clearly how pupils should behave, in and out of lessons. Pupils follow the school rules consistently. In lessons, they are focused and engaged. They treat adults and each other with respect and follow instructions promptly. Throughout the school day, pupils are polite, courteous, and confident. In very rare cases where bullying occurs, leaders deal with it quickly and effectively. Pupils take pride in the many responsibilities that they are trusted with, including electing and acting as representatives to the pupil parliament. The school considers the views of pupils and acts on them. For example, suggestions from pupils led to the school making improvements to playtimes. House captains support their respective houses to earn rewards. These are awarded for acts of kindness or outstanding achievements.
