What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 April 2024

The school's aim is to broaden pupils' horizons and raise aspiration. This is realised exceptionally well through an exciting, well-designed curriculum. Effective teaching strategies help all pupils to remember knowledge in depth across subjects. Because of this, pupils make very strong progress through the curriculum. The school embraces the diverse community and the array of languages that pupils speak. The many pupils who start school at different points during the year are included with warmth, sensitivity and kindness. Staff support pupils to learn the school's expectations. Pupils are proud of their school. They love learning and achieve very well. Pupils feel safe and cared for. Staff build strong relationships with pupils and families, creating an emotionally safe environment. Pupils have the confidence to speak out, and share ideas and worries. They know they will be listened to and supported. The school values thread through school life and the curriculum. Pupils' aspirations are nurtured, with pupils guided to consider 'future me' and where their learning can take them. Pupils understand and celebrate their different backgrounds, demonstrating great respect for each other. Leaders plan learning and enrichment opportunities deliberately. This is centred on their conviction that all pupils have an entitlement to exciting childhood experiences. Pupils especially like their residential trips. For instance, Year 6 pupils enjoy staying in a chateau and practising their French. Pupils spoke excitedly of their numerous trips to museums and theatres.
