What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending this school. Relationships here are built on trust and respect. This helps pupils feel safe. Pupils behave very well. They are kind and well mannered. Children in the Reception Year quickly learn the routines and acceptable behaviours. This helps them to settle well into school. This is further developed as pupils move through school and there is a calm and orderly atmosphere, both in lessons and at playtimes. The school has high expectations for all pupils. They try their utmost to live up to these expectations. They work hard and engage fully in their learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need to be successful alongside their peers. The school places great importance on pupils' wider development. There is an impressive range of opportunities that are available to nurture pupils' talents and interests. Visits to places of interest bring the curriculum to life and allow pupils to develop their confidence and deepen their understanding. Leadership skills are developed through a carefully thought-out set of responsibilities available to pupils. They understand that by accepting these additional duties, such as anti-bullying ambassadors, they act as role models for the younger pupils. They accept such roles with pride. As a result, pupils are well prepared for life outside school.
