What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

The school has the highest possible aspirations for all pupils to achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These ambitions are realised throughout all aspects of school life. As a result, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Pupils are extremely enthusiastic about the curricular offer. They feel privileged to use the media room and green screen to create their own short videos. Pupils live out the school's vision of 'we learn, we lead, we inspire' through their roles and responsibilities. They are proud to be digital leaders, learning ambassadors and junior leaders. These positions give them the opportunity to represent the school and be role models for their peers. The curriculum helps pupils to keep safe. They are all able to identify a trusted adult in school who they can talk to if they have any worries. Pupils are confident that everyone is welcome at their school. They enjoy learning about difference and what makes each person special. They talk confidently about different cultures and religions. Behaviour in school is exemplary. From Reception, pupils are taught the school's key learning behaviours and why these matter. Mutual respect is consistently evident between adults and pupils. Pupils understand the importance of the school's four core values of respect, compassion, honesty and cooperation. They show these in all they do.
