What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils thrive at this highly inclusive school. The school has very high expectations of pupils, who strive to meet them. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. They benefit from the warm and respectful relationships they have with the staff. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Adults expertly guide pupils to be able to work independently in lessons. As a result, pupils focus on their learning for sustained periods of time, without interruption. From the time they start in the early years, adults guide children to make their own choices and ask for help when they need it. Support from skilled staff ensures that pupils learn to manage their own feelings and behaviour. Pupils across school know that the staff are there to help them with any worries they may have. Consequently, pupils feel safe and very happy. Pupils embrace taking on roles of responsibility. They make meaningful contributions to the school community. For example, by becoming 'play leaders' or 'reading mentors'. Pupils are proud of their roles. They understand the value of helping others. Pupils know their views contribute to making their school a better place. They share their ideas and opinions with staff to bring about change, such as raising awareness of sustainability.
