What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 June 2023

Pupils are excited about coming to school. They are proud to share what they are learning. Pupils are happy and thrive in a caring and nurturing place. Leaders provide pupils with a highly ambitious curriculum. For instance, pupils worked with local historians and artists to develop their understanding of their local area. Staff enable pupils to respect and understand different faiths, beliefs and views. Leaders have very high expectations of pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning. Behaviour in classes is calm and positive so that pupils can focus on their work. Staff promote the school values consistently. This helps pupils to understand the importance of kindness through interactions with one another. Staff make sure that pupils feel safe in school. They have positive working relationships with pupils. Leaders provide pupils with a wealth of enrichment opportunities. Pupils talk enthusiastically about whole-school events, such as 'International Week'. They enjoy working collaboratively on projects and sharing their learning with their families. Teachers plan a wide range of visits and workshops to support pupils' curriculum understanding. Leaders make sure that all pupils access the many extra-curricular opportunities on offer.
