What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
This is an inclusive school where pupils are supported to thrive together. The curriculum is ambitious in all subjects. Pupils love learning here and achieve exceptionally well academically and personally. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children joining the Nursery settle quickly into the routines. Parents and carers praise the warm and friendly approach of staff. The school community treat each other with courtesy and respect. Visitors receive a warm welcome. Bullying is never tolerated. Pupils are actively involved in school improvement. They elect their own prefects who help to ensure a calm environment around the school. Older pupils, the 'lunch bunch', help make lunchtime a special experience. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. There are many opportunities for memorable learning experiences through the wide range of trips and visits. Pupils build skills and confidence through the regular performances and competitions. These include the 'micro musical' and talent shows. In Years 3 to 6, pupils learn an instrument, such as the violin or ukelele, and many sit graded exams. Pupils develop their citizenship through voting, charity work and contributing to their school community. These contributions are recognised through the citizenship awards.
