What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 June 2024

This school provides an exceptional education for its pupils. Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They expertly deliver interesting and demanding lessons, which enables pupils to understand knowledge deeply. By the time pupils leave Year 6, they are exceptionally well prepared for their move to secondary school. Pupils thrive in this happy, nurturing school where the golden rules 'guide children day and night'. Pupils' behaviour is commendable. Kindness is evident, starting from early years, where children play and share resources well. Bullying is very rare and dealt with immediately if it does occur. This is a school where pupils feel safe and are kept safe. Pupils know that adults will help them if they have a worry or concern. Children in early years, along with any new pupils across the school, receive a warm welcome. They settle into school life quickly. Relationships between adults and pupils are exceedingly strong. The exceptional education that the school provides is supported by a wide range of enrichment opportunities. Pupils spoke enthusiastically about the vast array of high- quality activities on offer. Many take part in after-school clubs that include boxing, chess, Italian and Latin ballroom dancing, French and art. Pupils visit nearby woods frequently and experience outdoor learning. An annual 'Aspirations Week' helps pupils to think about their next steps and potential careers.
