What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 July 2022

Pupils said they really enjoy coming to this school. They like their lessons because teachers make learning interesting and exciting. Pupils are happy and safe. Leaders are highly ambitious for all. Parents and carers view the school positively. They particularly like that staff get to know their children very well. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils rise to these. They work hard in lessons and take pride in their learning. Pupils get on well with each other and they are respectful. Staff deal with any incidents of bullying effectively. Pupils' work displayed around the school celebrates their achievements and reflects the school's excellent curriculum. Leaders ensure that everyone's uniqueness is celebrated. All pupils achieve highly and participate fully in the life of their school. For example, every pupil had a role in the Year 6 'High School Musical'. Pupils learn about different beliefs and cultures. They enjoy celebrating different religious festivals. Leaders offer a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, such as basketball, cheerleading and engineering. These help to encourage pupils to develop their interests. Pupils have many opportunities to display their talents, including in sports and music. For example, the school choir recently sang at Buckingham Palace as part of the Commonwealth Choir.
