What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils are inspired by the rich opportunities, interesting activities and examples of excellence that surround them every day. They try their hardest, whether weaving willow during outside learning, solving mathematics problems together or trying their hand at squash. Expectations are extremely high throughout the school. Pupils are very well supported to meet them. They attain highly across the curriculum. In English and mathematics, this is reflected in published outcomes of national assessments. In other subjects, this can be seen, for example, in the particularly high quality of pupils' artwork that adorns the corridors. Pupils remember these projects and what they have learned. They proudly explain the processes and the colour choices involved. Pupils' behaviour in classes and around the school is exemplary. Pupils are polite, considerate and engaging. They are strongly focused on their learning. They enjoy discussing ideas together and building on each others' suggestions and ideas. It is common to hear even the youngest children in the early years encouraging or complimenting each other. Pupils are happy at school. Smiles abound, and relationships are warm and good humoured. Pupils know that they are cared for and that staff will respond to any problems or worries they have.
