What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

This is a warm, friendly and nurturing school. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They like to spend time with their friends as well as completing their 'fun' learning. Pupils are polite and respectful of all. They look after each other and staff support them when needed. Pupils understand that staff have high expectations of them. They know the rules clearly and adhere to these. Pupils work hard, enjoy discussions in small groups or as a class and engage well with activities. As a result, there is a calm and purposeful environment, where pupils achieve well. Pupils have had visits from the police and fire brigade to learn about staying safe, including water safety. They are clear about how they should stay safe online. There are several opportunities available for the pupils to attend extra-curricular activities. These include a wide variety of clubs, including building bricks, cooking, French and computing. The older pupils run some of these clubs for the younger pupils, which helps them develop their confidence and leadership skills. Some pupils also attend sports competitions in which they have recently seen success. This supports pupils to develop their teamwork skills.
