What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2022

Pupils thrive in this happy, purposeful learning environment. Leaders prioritise pupils' safety by modelling the highest standards of care. Pupils are safe and say that this is because 'our teachers are always nearby'. All staff expect every pupil to achieve highly, including the most disadvantaged. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve exceptionally well. This is because leaders and staff make sure that every pupil receives the right support to learn the curriculum. All pupils, even the very youngest, behave impeccably. The school's 'golden rules' (show respect, take responsibility, and always make the right choice) are understood and met by all. Bullying is very rare. Pupils said that they would tell an adult if they could not deal with bullying themselves. Leaders make sure that pupils learn about different types of bullying, and what to do if it occurs. Leaders encourage all pupils to have at least one special talent or interest. After-school activities provide pupils with many opportunities to develop more widely. These include drama and art, as well as a range of sports clubs. Pupils have welcomed the return to school trips and visitors following the COVID-19 pandemic. Year 6 pupils spoke excitedly about their upcoming visit to the Imperial War Museum.
