What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Pupils have a genuine passion for learning. They benefit from the highly aspirational curriculum that is enriched with carefully designed and purposeful experiences. Pupils flourish in this safe and positive environment, where they are expected to achieve their best. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the guidance and support they need to be successful. By the end of key stage 2, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Behaviour in classrooms and around the school is excellent. Pupils understand what is expected of them. They demonstrate high levels of self-discipline because they know this is 'the right thing to do'. Pupils learn the importance of valuable character traits such as taking responsibility and collaboration. This ensures that pupils are well prepared for the next stage of education and life in modern Britain. Many pupils shared high aspirations for their future occupations. Pupils are proud of the difference they make to each other, their families and the local community. For instance, Year 6 pupils take the lead in organising support for various charities. The school's 'community hub' provides food, toiletries and clothing to those who may be in need of help.
