What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Pupils love their school. They proudly tell visitors how they learn well, play fairly and behave respectfully. This is because teachers have the highest expectations of pupils behaviour and learning. Pupils are safe because their teachers care passionately about their well-being and always act in pupils' best interests. Pupils bring an infectious enthusiasm to their learning. Children from nursery age are ready to learn. Pupils listen carefully and are keen to answer questions. They like to discuss what they are learning. They take turns and help each other to learn better. Pupils know it is important to treat others with kindness. They read books about people from different cultures and backgrounds. This helps pupils to understand how diverse the world is. They also learn how people overcome great challenges in life. This encourages them to 'be brave and try hard'. Pupils enjoy many opportunities to learn new important life skills. They sing, play games, compete, perform and lead others. Pupils learn to become responsible citizens. They represent their friends' views on the school council. They raise money for charity and collect food for those in need. They visit and help older members of the community. As a result, they develop empathy and find out about how life used to be in the past.
