What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 December 2025
Pupils love their school, they feel valued, supported and cared for. The wide curriculum offer creates enthusiasm, engagement and a love of learning. Pupils enjoy this exciting curriculum, which embraces the heritage of the community. For example, pupils get to learn about the key landmarks of London and its history. They value where they live and the diversity within the school community. Pupils are proud to share their learning and show excitement when they talk about their school community. The school has high expectations for all pupils and acknowledge that many pupils face wider challenges in everyday life. The school creates a culture of aspiration and shared success. Not all pupils achieve the expected level at the end of Year 6 in national curriculum tests. However, the bespoke support enables pupils to make progress from their individual starting points. This is a truly inclusive school; leaders do all they can to support pupils to overcome the barriers to learning. Leaders have high ambition for all pupils and provide extensive support to meet pupils' individual needs. Leaders and staff know their pupils and families well, they do all they can to ensure pupils have the academic and social development to thrive. Playtimes are a joyful, happy environment, which promote play, imagination and conversation. Bullying is rare as pupils learn to respect and value each other. Staff and pupils share positive and warm working relationships. Pupils feel safe and know that they can communicate any worries to staff. Everyone looks out for each other and behaviour throughout the school is calm and positive. Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities and support to enhance their personal development and wellbeing. For instance, pupils describe the impact drama therapy has on supporting their concentration and enjoyment of learning. Carefully planned enrichment activities enhance pupils' curriculum understanding. For example, learning about the impact of World War 2 at the Imperial War Museum.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should continue to strengthen their targeted work for individual pupils who are not meeting national expected levels, so pupils reach at least age-related expectations and remove barriers to their learning.
