What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 May 2024

Pupils are happy, confident and articulate at this positive and welcoming school. They are eager learners, and pupils new to the school settle quickly. The school is highly ambitious for pupils to succeed. It has the highest academic expectations. All pupils are supported to achieve highly and to develop self-belief, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils' behaviour is exemplary, both during lessons and at playtimes. They have trusting relationships with each other and with staff. Pupils say they feel safe, valued and cared for at school. They are proud of their school and respectful and courteous to others. They develop a deep understanding of different faiths and cultures. Pupils make a valuable contribution to school life through the roles and responsibilities they hold. For example, some are champions for curriculum subjects. Pupils in Year 6 develop an understanding of their environmental responsibility by measuring their daily plastic use and participating in 'The Big Plastic Count'. There is a large range of extra-curricular clubs for pupils to attend. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. They start to learn about potential careers from an early stage, through the school's 'Skills Builder Programme'. This means pupils are very well prepared for their future lives.
