What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

The school sets very high academic expectations for all pupils. They meet these and achieve highly. Pupils are very respectful and considerate. They are safe here. They are highly engaged in their learning. In the early years, children eat together politely at lunchtime, serve themselves, use cutlery with skill and brush their teeth afterwards. The school organises numerous high-quality experiences for pupils. These include visits around the capital and to arts centres, nature outings and opportunities to contribute to wider society. Clubs such as gymnastics and kung fu are popular. Children in Reception attend the popular multi-sports club. Pupils are enthusiastic to become members of the 'junior leadership team' and members of the school council. Recently, the school council successfully campaigned for recycling bins to be introduced around the school and raised funds for a new climbing frame in the playground. Pupils learn how to grow, prepare and cook food in the school's 'school of food'. By the end of Year 6, all pupils have learned how to cook a meal for themselves. Pupils enjoy looking after the school's pet chickens, Poppy, Sunflower and Pumpkin, who lay eggs used by the school of food.
