What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
This school sits at the heart of the local community. There is an inclusive culture in which everyone is made to feel welcome, whatever their religion or nationality. The school works together with parents and carers to meet pupils' needs. Staff know the pupils and their families well. They show genuine care for them. Strong relationships permeate throughout the school. Pupils feel accepted, loved and respected. They thrive in this supportive environment. Leaders have the highest expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils know these expectations well and live up to them fully. Pupils are extremely polite, well mannered, and exceptionally well behaved. Classrooms are calm and well-ordered places for learning. On the playground, pupils enjoy spending time playing with their friends. Incidents of poor behaviour or bullying are rare and are dealt with quickly. Pupils are happy. They feel cared for and safe. As they get older, pupils value the opportunities to take on roles and responsibilities, such as well-being ambassadors, digital leaders and school councillors. Pupils are dedicated to making the school the best it can possibly be, and they act as excellent role models for younger pupils.
