What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Staff and pupils are rightly proud of their school. Effective support is provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to achieve highly alongside their peers. Pupils are supported to strive for excellence in everything that they do. They actively pursue the school's values to be confident, resilient, ambitious, creative, considerate and healthy. Pupils thrive in the many opportunities to carry out leadership roles, such as buddies and play leaders. Staff recognise and celebrate pupils' efforts routinely, building pupils' confidence and a shared sense of belonging. For example, pupils are commended as 'Heroes of Little Common' for the strong positive impact they make on the life of the school, and each other. Behaviour is exemplary. Staff have high and clear expectations for pupils' behaviour and apply the behaviour policy fairly and consistently. Pupils know the school's routines thoroughly. If pupils find managing their own behaviour challenging, they receive the help that they need to succeed. Pupils attend school regularly. Staff have the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils reach and exceed these expectations consistently. Staff are highly skilled in leading and implementing the curriculum, often sharing best practice within and beyond the school. There is no ceiling on pupils' learning. Pupils, particularly pupils with SEND, are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of education.
