What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils are very proud of their school. They enjoy school enormously. This is because the school provides a highly effective curriculum, which gives pupils the knowledge and experiences they need to succeed and achieve well. Pupils work hard to live by the values of the school. They are incredibly polite and caring towards each other. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable in lessons and when moving around the school. This is because staff have high expectations of them, which start in the two- year-old provision. Pupils have positive, respectful working relationships with adults. Pupils know that staff will listen to them and quickly sort out any problems that might arise. This means they feel happy and safe. Pupils take on positions of responsibility. This includes acting as well-being ambassadors and members of the sustainability squad. Well-being ambassadors are valued by their classmates because they help them to share their feelings. The school values pupils' opinions. Pupils are given frequent opportunities to debate and consider the views of others. For example, pupils debated whether litter is Hackney's biggest issue. They wrote letters to the Mayor of London expressing their views. These experiences help pupils to develop their own ideas and share their opinions.
