What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils are happy to come to this school every morning. They enjoy their lessons and the many opportunities for enrichment. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Pupils feel safe because they trust staff to listen and to help them with any problems they may face. They feel it is very easy to make new friends and say that there are lots of opportunities to try something new. Staff have very high expectations of pupils' behaviour, which is exemplary. They are polite to adults and respectful of each other. In lessons, they are keen to learn and settle down to tasks quickly. The school aims to give all pupils the best start in life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged. The early years curriculum sets very strong foundations for future learning. Across the school, staff expect pupils to work hard and achieve well, and they rise to these expectations. Pupils achieve extremely well. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities they have to enrich their learning during the school day and through extra-curricular activities. Leaders encourage staff to organise many visits out of school to give pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, a rich diet of cultural experiences. For example, the school is recognised for the wealth of musical and creative arts opportunities it offers to its pupils.
