What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils feel happy and love coming to this small, nurturing and inclusive school where Christian values are deeply embedded. Opportunities for worship and learning about different faiths are an important part of daily life. Pupils are rightly very proud of their school. An exceptional quality of education from Nursery to Year 6 helps them to develop an infectious enthusiasm and thirst for learning. Consequently, they flourish here. In early years, children have ample opportunities for play and learning important life skills. They show kindness and warmth to others and love to explore, play and talk. They are deeply curious, soaking up what they learn. As a result, they are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Staff lead by example, instilling a highly positive culture. Pupils develop excellent relationships with others. The school uses 'Respect x 5', and this encourages pupils to have respect for themselves, their peers, those looking after them, others and the environment. They relish forest school and the many trips and events they are involved in. Pupils are proactive leaders and have active roles on the school council. They are committed to looking after the environment around them.
