What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils at this school get a fantastic learning experience. From the early years to Year 6, pupils succeed in modelling their school's motto to 'aim high and be better than you have ever been before.' Pupils are happy in school and greet their friends and staff each morning. The school has exceptionally high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), consistently live up to or exceed these expectations. They achieve remarkably well. Pupils relish every opportunity to learn. Pupils are nurtured and cared for by staff who know them very well. As a result, they flourish academically and personally. Pupils behave extremely well. They work hard in lessons and play cooperatively with their friends. Pupils treat others with thought and consideration. Pupils thoroughly enjoy the many enrichment opportunities that are woven through the curriculum. For example, they benefit from carefully programmed trips to local farms, museums and places of worship. Pupils regularly take part in sports competitions. They also work with the local community to organise events such as choir performances in nursing homes and nativity plays in the church.
