What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

An endless ambition shared by all staff ensures there are no limits to what pupils can accomplish. This starts in early years, where children develop a strong foundation that prepares them well for later learning. Pupils engage with a curriculum designed to ignite a passion for learning and knowing more. They take great pride in their work and are eloquent when talking about their learning. Dedicated and skilful staff remove barriers to ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn well. As a result, all pupils are exceptionally well prepared for future learning and success. A sense of calm and purposeful learning pervades the school. Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect for their peers and the school values. They are incredibly polite, try hard and are proud of their achievements. Behaviour is exemplary because staff are consistent with their high expectations. Influential pupil leadership ensures that pupils' voices inform decisions about the school. Staff purposefully teach pupils important life skills, such as being open-minded. This means pupils articulate their views when debating big ideas such as 'Who are we?' One of many pupils report that the school feels 'perfect for them', reflecting the high-quality care and support they receive.
