What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Pupils love coming to this happy, vibrant school. From the moment they start in the Nursery Year, they embark on an exciting journey of learning and discovery. They flourish under the care and guidance of staff. They are confident in the support of their friends. Ambition is high for all pupils. The school aims to provide a world class education by inspiring pupils to learn. Pupils benefit from a beautiful, stimulating environment. The school gives them many unique experiences, in and out of the classroom. This means that all pupils thrive and excel in their learning. Behaviour in school is exemplary. The school involves pupils in deciding what behaviour should be like in school. This means that they follow rules and do not need reminders about conduct. They show high levels of respect and are unfailingly courteous to everyone. Pupils quickly learn to manage their own behaviour from the earliest age. Pupils develop into young people who are keen to take on numerous positions of responsibility. For example, looking after the chickens in the Nursery class, or being junior safety officers. Pupils develop their talents and interests through a wide range of clubs, such as football and photography.
