What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 February 2024

Pupils get an excellent start to school life and love coming to school every day. They enjoy being with their friends and contributing to engaging lessons. Pupils are kind, polite and respectful towards one another and to adults. All pupils feel safe and can name a trusted adult they can talk to if they have any worries or concerns. The school has high expectations of all pupils and what they can achieve. This is especially true for disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school is a fully welcoming community. Pupils work hard in lessons, respond eagerly to questions from staff and demonstrate exemplary behaviours in and around the school. Pupils are motivated to keep trying and display a high level of focus. As a result, they achieve highly across all areas of the curriculum. The personal development of pupils is exceptional. They act as proud ambassadors for their school and local community. Pupils love the opportunities the school provides to be of service to others. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. From the moment their children start in early years or as new arrivals, parents said they feel part of the school family.
