What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils flourish at this happy and friendly school. Pupils are supported to become 'the best version of themselves'. Staff know pupils well and have very high expectations for them. Pupils are rightly proud of their school and all it has to offer. Pupils work hard and achieve highly, including in national assessments. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the support their children receive. The school is highly inclusive, with dedicated and committed staff. They ensure pupils succeed and thrive, irrespective of their background or context. Children in the Nursery and Reception get off to a strong start, engaging in high-quality learning. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who achieve very well alongside their peers. Pupils' behaviour is excellent, both in lessons and around the school. Bullying is rare, and pupils know who to speak with if they have any concerns. Pupils talk enthusiastically about the wide range of enrichment opportunities available. These include school visits and residential stays. Pupils are eager to make a difference in the school community. They enjoy helping each other as prefects and acting as ambassadors when parents visit the school.
