What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
Pupils receive a truly excellent start to their education in every aspect of school life. The school focuses on building strong relationships with pupils and their families from the outset. Staff get to know pupils quickly and show pupils great warmth and care. The school is extremely ambitious for what all pupils can achieve and learn. From the first day in the Reception Year, teachers build pupils' learning very carefully so that pupils achieve highly in all subjects. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They clearly strive to fulfil the school's motto of 'Learning, Caring and Achieving Together'. Pupils of all ages are well mannered and show high levels of respect and self-control. Pupils learn how to be part of a caring community, which includes pupils from diverse backgrounds and pupils with complex needs. All of this leads to an incredibly positive atmosphere in which pupils thrive both academically and pastorally. Parents are overwhelmingly happy with the school's provision. They know that their children are happy, safe and attend a school where they will really flourish.
