What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils love learning at this warm and friendly school. They are highly motivated and look forward to coming in each morning. They are safe and happy here. Pupils know who to speak to if they have any worries. They talk enthusiastically about their learning and take great pride in their achievements. Everyone celebrates success in the weekly assembly. Parents and carers look forward to 'Pride Time', where they can see what their child is learning. Pupils do very well here, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This is because the school has exceptionally high aspirations for all pupils. Behaviour in lessons is exemplary. Pupils learn about equality and know why the school rules of 'ready, respectful, safe' are important. They are proud to be part of this school community and take their roles of responsibility very seriously. There are many opportunities for pupils to enhance their learning and develop new interests. Pupils enjoy frequent trips and visits in the local area, as well as further afield to places of cultural significance such as the Cutty Sark and Greenwich Maritime Museum. Pupils use digital tools to experience the wider world. They learn about the law and how to keep themselves safe through regular visits from their local police officer. Clubs are well attended, including coding, gardening and choir.
