What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 April 2023
Children flourish in this small school. They develop as independent, enthusiastic learners in a diverse, stimulating community. Strong routines help children to feel safe. They quickly settle happily to the day ahead. Staff have the highest expectations of all that children can achieve. They provide stimulating opportunities to learn in all activities that children do each day. Adults skilfully draw children into new experiences and ideas. They encourage and support children to express their ideas and follow their interests. The environment enables children to work together and independently. Children make the most of all that is available to them. They select activities carefully, concentrate and keep going when things get tricky. Children form strong, trusting relationships with adults and each other. They learn to understand and respect the feelings of others. Children learn good manners and to be considerate members of the school community. They learn to be patient and take their turn when they are playing and talking to others. Staff develop strong, effective relationships with parents. They provide parents with regular updates, so they know how their child is developing and can help with their learning. Parents rightly describe the school as 'fantastic, warm and caring'.
