What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Leaders have ensured that every member of staff has the highest aspiration for every child at this school. There is an exceptional level of care and consideration given to ensuring that pupils feel safe and are ready to learn. Staff are relentless in making sure that all pupils achieve well through the planned curriculum, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This ambition is reflected in every part of school life. The behaviour of pupils is exemplary. Pupils' expectations of themselves are high. From the earliest stages of their education, teachers teach pupils how to be ready to learn. Pupils' behaviour in school rarely falls short of the high expectations modelled by staff. Pupils access a rich variety of opportunities and extra-curricular experiences. Pupils' lives are enriched by the range of exciting sports, educational visits, and clubs. Pupils can participate at the start of the school day, during lunch and after school. Relationships between staff and pupils are extremely positive and built on a foundation of respect. This creates a sense of physical and emotional safety for pupils in which they thrive. Class meetings start each day in every year group. Pupils say that they like this time. It allows them to share their thoughts, feelings and any worries before they start their learning. Pupils are kind, courteous and polite. Bullying is exceptionally rare. Pupils are confident that if it did happen, adults in school would help to sort it out.
