What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Pupils delight in being part of this school community. They behave exceptionally well. Pupils are unfailingly polite and respectful to each other, including to pupils from different backgrounds. Pupils are safe here and know their 'five trusted adults' will resolve any worries they may have. The school has the highest expectations for pupils and their learning. Pupils enjoy working through the ambitious curriculum and achieve exceptionally highly, including in end of key stage 2 national assessments. Thoughtfully planned visits and explicit links to different careers enhance the taught curriculum. For example, in history, pupils visit many museums, such as the Imperial War Museum. They talk confidently about different careers, including an archaeologist and palaeontologist. In addition, pupils develop their talents and interests as they take part in a broad range of extra-curricular activities. These include archery, cross stitch, 'future scientists' and photography. A strong focus on developing responsible, respectful and active citizens sits at the heart of the school. Pupils eagerly apply for different leadership roles, including ambassador, guardian angel, sports leader and travel ambassador. Year 6 pupils pair up with Reception children to support their transition to primary school. Pupils also support local charities with book and financial donations.
