What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 November 2022

Leaders bring their vision of 'a place where children are at the heart of learning' to life. Staff open their arms and their hearts to children and their families. They wrap dedicated care and support around each and every one, from beginning to end. Parents and carers cannot speak highly enough of all that leaders and staff do for them. 'This is an amazing, caring and nurturing school. It looks after the child and their well-being, and offers support for the families,' was typical of all comments made by parents. The rhythm of the year, the term and the day supports children's learning. Children are inquisitive and happy learners. They learn right from wrong. Staff do not tolerate unkind words, for example about skin colour. Staff give sensitive support so children have the right words to talk about feelings. This helps children to sort out any squabbles with their friends. The classrooms and outside areas are extremely well planned to meet the needs of young children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Every minute of learning counts. Children explore, play, problem-solve and think for themselves every day. They concentrate deeply and achieve well.
