What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 February 2023

This is a school where pupils thrive and succeed. Leaders have the highest expectations for all pupils' learning and behaviour. They expect and support pupils to achieve highly. Pupils' behaviour in and around school is exemplary. They are polite, respectful and welcoming. Pupils are insistent that bullying and racism are not tolerated at this school. If bullying is reported, leaders take robust and sensitive action. Pupils are kept safe and happy here. Pupils are confident and articulate when expressing their views. Children in the early years are well prepared for Year 1. Leaders know the pupils, families and community well. This helps leaders to plan a curriculum and experiences that give pupils the best preparation for the next stage of their education. Pupils relish all the opportunities that each day brings. For example, pupils take on leadership roles. These include being school councillors and leadership ambassadors. Pupils appreciated having their views heard in the school and knowing that they are listened to. Pupils readily take part in a wide range of clubs on offer. These contribute strongly to their personal development.
