What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Children have such a good time at this school that they ask for it to be open at weekends. It is clear to see why children thrive here. Leaders' high expectations are realised. Staff are highly skilled at supporting children's learning and development. Staff build on children's interests and find exciting and imaginative ways to make learning meaningful. In doing so, they inspire children's curiosity. For example, one group of children explored what might have caused the holes in the tree bark. Another group thought about how they might make their construction of Tower Bridge stronger and stronger. The school's work with families is a shining example of how to make sure children, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), get the help they need. No matter what their age, level of need or starting points, children achieve highly. Whether they attend all week or for some of the week, children settle in really well. They are happy, safe and very well cared for. Staff help children to build friendships and understand the importance of being kind to others. This makes the school a welcoming place to be. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about everything the school provides for their children.
