What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Pupils are happy and extremely proud members of this welcoming school. Pupils live up to the expectations and virtues of 'kindness, honesty and courage.' Their behaviour and conduct are consistently excellent. The school is an exceptional place to learn and make friends. Pupils fully embrace its high expectations and vision for their lives. Children in the early years receive an excellent start to their education and continue to flourish throughout the school. The curriculum is ambitious and carefully constructed, providing a highly positive and inspiring learning environment. From Nursery, children establish strong foundations in their learning, including how to communicate, cooperate and care for each other. Pupils achieve highly and have many other opportunities to excel. They develop into mature, confident young people. Pupils benefit from the school's exciting provision of wider opportunities. For example, they play chess, take part in dance competitions, and explore more about science and coding. Older pupils are proud to run an origami club for younger pupils to enjoy. Pupils prize the range of leadership opportunities on offer, such as school councillors, play leaders and house captains. Pupils are confident about the need for them to be role models and the importance of helping younger children in their play.
