What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

Pupils are proud to attend this exceptional school. They are happy and engaged in everything they do. Pupils thrive academically, socially and emotionally in a nurturing, inclusive environment. They behave extremely well and work well together as a team. Pupils support each other to make the right choices. Pupils strive to achieve their 'Quiltenee' cape for demonstrating each of the school's values, for example perseverance, bravery or independence. This inspires pupils to be aspirational for themselves and live up to the high expectations of staff. Pupils are exemplary learners. They talk confidently, enthusiastically and accurately about their learning. Pupils work hard to achieve whatever they set their minds to. They are rightly proud of their achievements. Pupils are polite and respectful of others. They show this when they support the 'Memory Café,' which is for members of the local community who have dementia. This is an activity that all pupils take part in during their time at the school and contributes towards their 'Infant Adventure'. There are 16 activities for pupils to complete during their time at the school, which include holding positions of responsibility and helping a younger pupil. These activities promote pupils' wider development very well.
