What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 October 2024

This is a nurturing and inclusive school community. It values and celebrates each pupil as a unique individual. The school holds high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is broad and highly ambitious. It helps pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding. As a result, pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. The wider curriculum provides many opportunities for pupils to develop as independent, confident and successful learners. The school carefully and thoughtfully plans each activity. It places particular emphasis on building pupils' confidence and communication skills. Through this approach, pupils express themselves fluently, share their views clearly and listen attentively to others' opinions. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are kind, responsible and considerate, demonstrating high levels of self-control. This begins in early years, where children quickly learn and follow daily routines. Inclusivity is a core focus. This approach ensures that all pupils feel represented and valued. The school's ethos is reflected in the calm, purposeful atmosphere across lessons and the school. This creates an environment where pupils feel safe, fostering caring relationships between pupils and adults.
