What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2023

This is a school where everyone is treated fairly and equally. Pupils' best interests are at the heart of all the school's work. Pupils are enthusiastic about all aspects of school life and show a keen interest in their learning. From the moment pupils join the school, they work hard and rise to the high expectations set by staff. Children in the early years get off to a great start in school and settle in quickly. The sense of community is well established here. Staff know pupils and their families well. Staff are rightly proud of the strong professional relationships that they have with parents and carers. Pupils, staff and parents are very positive about the school. They typically spoke about feeling part of a school 'family'. Pupils are safe and well looked after. The school organises well-planned experiences to enhance pupils' learning. These include outings to various museums and places of interest. For example, pupils learn about the Iron Age through a visit to Epping Forest. Pupils are exceptionally well behaved and show kindness and respect for their fellow pupils and school staff. Staff help pupils to understand the importance of concepts such as compassion and responsibility. All this helps the school to be a happy and caring place to be.
