What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 December 2023

Pupils are happy and safe at this inclusive primary school. Staff encourage pupils to understand and appreciate each other's views, and to value the diversity of the school's community. Pupils understand how the school expects them to behave. They are polite and well mannered. Older pupils act as role models for younger children. Staff manage behaviour with sensitivity and care. Bullying is rare. Adults act quickly to stop it, when it happens. They help pupils to resolve any issues between them. The school has high expectations for pupils' learning, and pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. Pupils have many excellent opportunities to learn, including those which go beyond the academic curriculum. For example, pupils devised and performed an opera, designing and making the props themselves in art lessons. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive skilled support. This is effective in helping their learning and their wider development. Pupils have many opportunities to take on leadership roles, which are open to all. For example, pupils stood for election to be Spanish ambassadors. The successful candidates made a short Spanish-language film for their partner school in Peru.
