What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2023

Pupils are confident and charismatic. Leaders and staff celebrate what pupils do well and their efforts to improve their behaviour and learning. Pupils feel happy and safe in school because adults take the time to know and support them. This also ensures that bullying is rare. When it does occur, pupils understand that leaders and staff take suitable steps to resolve it. Pupils learn a great deal through the school's interesting curriculum. This shows when they speak about their work. Younger pupils, for example, can explain how to make secondary colours, while older pupils confidently calculate with large numbers. There are whole-school initiatives too that encourage pupils to be scholarly. For instance, pupils eagerly share the meaning of new words with peers to be a 'word champion' and they read regularly to get a chance to read to the school dog. Pupils are keen to lend a helping hand. They can choose to serve as a sports leader, a language ambassador or a member of the school council. Taking on a role includes opportunities to practise public speaking, such as through leading assemblies to share important messages. Pupils also learn to be charitable, willingly giving up their free time to improve the school. Play leaders, for example, run lunchtime activities to ensure younger pupils socialise happily.
