From the inspection on 1 May 2024

This is an inspirational and thriving school. Pupils feel safe here. Staff are aspirational for pupils' achievement. They nurture pupils from the moment they arrive at the school. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have excellent attitudes to learning. They succeed in all areas of the well-designed curriculum. Pupils behave exceptionally well. The school's motto 'a caring family school' encapsulates the school values. Kindness underpins everything the staff and pupils do. Pupils conduct themselves in an exemplary manner. They respect and value their time together. Behaviour in lessons is strong without exception. This is because staff are experts in modelling the desired behaviours. Pupils love coming to school. They attend extremely well. Pupils have a 'voice' and are encouraged to use it. They express their opinions through school council meetings, suggest school events and make weekly book recommendations to their peers. Staff teach pupils to develop life skills, such as ambition, independence and leadership. Over time, the school has built and maintained extremely positive relationships with families. Staff engage with external agencies to support pupils. The school is well respected in the local community.
