What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2022

Pupils are polite and welcoming. Alongside staff, parents and carers, they feel proud to be part of such a strong community. Their behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary. All pupils, including the very youngest, follow instructions immediately and are familiar with routines. Disruption in lessons is extremely rare. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. They expect them to achieve well. Pupils' attitudes to school and to learning are of a high standard. Teachers consistently help them succeed. Pupils' well-being and mental health are at the centre of the curriculum. Because of this, pupils access their education with enthusiasm and approach any difficulties with resilience. Pupils appreciate opportunities to write down any concerns in their reflection journals, which adults respond to. Bullying is rare and pupils know that if it occurs, staff will deal with it seriously and with urgency. Pupils are encouraged to have a voice. Recently, they sent letters to the local council about the high number of rats and cockroaches in their local housing. Another example is the campaign pupils led in convincing parents not to use disposable face masks. They did this by educating them on the impact their use has on the environment.
