What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

Pupils are cared for well. Staff and pupils know each other well. They stop to chat to each other around the school and enjoy relationships that are polite and courteous. Whether in class or moving around the school, most pupils behave well. The school environment is well organised and welcoming. Classroom displays provide pupils with a range of useful information. Pupils enjoy experiences that enrich the curriculum. The curriculum is brought to life through opportunities to visit places of interest, such as a farm and an outdoor pursuits centre. The 'Intake 50' encourages pupils to take part in new experiences, such as making an ice cream or dressing up as a roman soldier. Pupils are inspired by these experiences. They are keen to join in conversations about their learning and listen carefully to other pupils' ideas. The school is aspirational for pupils. Pupils respond well to the school's high expectations. All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning.
