What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2023

The school offers an inclusive environment that is full of respect and care. Pupils' all- round development is carefully nurtured, with emphasis given to helping them to become active citizens. The curriculum provides multiple opportunities for pupils to develop as independent, confident and successful learners. High aspirations, centred on the school values, permeate this school. Pupils live out these aspirations through presenting in assemblies, taking part in external competitions and serving the school in leadership roles. Leaders have designed and implemented a high-quality curriculum that has both depth and breadth. They make sure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), learn very successfully. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They engage enthusiastically with what they are being taught. Pupils know and remember detailed knowledge across a range of subjects. Their outcomes in national assessments are very strong. Behaviour is a strength. Leaders have recently implemented a new policy which was developed in collaboration with staff, pupils, parents and carers. This collaborative approach has ensured that rules and routines are lived and understood by all, from the early years up. Pupils are polite and friendly. The behaviour of pupils consistently supports their learning. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe at this school. They have adults that they know that they can talk to about any worries.
