What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
Pupils are extremely proud of their school. They run through the gates every morning, excited to play and learn in the school's supportive environment. The school's values permeate everything that happens here. Pupils learn what they mean, for example equality and diversity. They demonstrate them in their day-to- day activities. Pupils love the 'values tea-parties' at the end of each term, when values champions are rewarded and recognised for their efforts. The school is highly inclusive. Adults are ambitious for every pupil. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged get extensive and effective support to be successful learners. Most pupils achieve very well, thanks to the school's high expectations of them. Pupils' well-being is a top priority. There is a strong pastoral team, which includes the school dog and guinea pigs. Nurture breakfast and lunchtime clubs teach pupils vital social and emotional skills. Pupils enjoy an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. They can try new sports and activities, such as archery, basketball or Indian dance. At a writing club, pupils learn from a published author. Music has a high profile. Pupils can sing in the school choir or perform in a rock band. Various leadership roles develop pupils' sense of responsibility.
