What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
The school sets out to provide an excellent education for every child, in every classroom, every day. This they do. Pupils sit at the heart of all that the school does. Pupils are rightly proud to show visitors around their exceptional school. They value the special spaces that the school provides for their learning and enjoyment. This includes the reading caravan, democracy spinning wheel and the indoor sandpit. Pupils reach and exceed the school's high expectations. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are polite, calm and trustworthy. Pupils are avid learners who thrive and achieve highly. Day by day, week by week, pupils are well-equipped for what comes next. A strength of this school is the way pupils are encouraged to have a lifelong passion for physical activity in order to live a healthy lifestyle. Pupils also benefit from visiting art galleries, theatres and Parliament. Many enjoy the radio club. These experiences enrich pupils' understanding and appreciation of the world. These wider opportunities develop their personal growth in a remarkable way. All pupils work with an artist-in-residence and specialist music and drama teachers. Pupils spoke proudly of the leadership roles available in the school, especially the new Shakespeare ambassador role. Their many opportunities beyond the curriculum help develop pupils into well-rounded, thoughtful and responsible individuals.
