What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

Pupils love attending this big school with a close-knit family feel. Pupils live and breathe their five core values in the way they work incredibly hard during lessons. They also show them by behaving incredibly well throughout the day. Responsibility is a value that is especially important to pupils. All pupils step up to lead during their time at school. The 'eco council' are proud to plant seeds in the allotment to grow vegetables that families use at home. As soon as children start in early years, they develop a love of learning. The high expectations of 'Excellence, Every Child, Every day' underpins all that happens at school. Pupils rise to these expectations whether in class, or when accessing the exceptional enrichment opportunities on offer. Rich and varied experiences flow through the curriculum. These range from inspirational trips, such as singing at an opera house, to the '16 before secondary school' programme. Pupils gleefully accept what is on offer to them. They are proud to represent their school community in county football competitions or when playing the piano or violin in the school orchestra. This ignites pupils' ambitions for their future as they become budding musicians, artists, scientists, mathematicians and more.
