What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

Pupils love coming to this school. They arrive happily each day ready to grow in their knowledge and confidence through their learning. The school have put their three 'Rs' of 'respect, responsibility and resilience' at the heart of all that happens here. Staff teach pupils how to adopt these principles into their learning and play. Pupils were keen to explain the ways that they uphold these values in how they act and speak. Pupils have a real zest for learning the school's curriculum. It is academically ambitious for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Training for staff ensures that they have the knowledge and expertise to deliver the curriculum very effectively. They are also able to continually adapt and improve learning so that pupils' achievement across subjects is exceptionally strong. Behaviour is impeccable. Pupils support each other willingly, inside and outside of lessons. This is because day-to-day school life is based on a shared vision of everyone achieving success together. The school works well to ensure that pupils and parents and carers know the importance of coming to school every day. Attendance is high. Pupils are happy and are kept safe. Pupils' wider development is at the heart of the curriculum. The school ensures that there are rich opportunities, both inside and outside of the classroom, for pupils to grow their leadership skills and cultural capital.
