What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 June 2025

Staff have high ambitions for pupils' achievement. The principles that all pupils can and will achieve underpin the safe and nurturing school environment. Pupils thrive at the school. They access a broad and rich education that is skilfully designed to meet the range of pupils' needs and interests. The early years provides an exceptionally strong foundation for children's learning and development. The school has very high standards for pupils' behaviour. It has a clear and considered approach to support and promote these expectations. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They make thoughtful choices in regulating their own conduct. Pupils respond to instructions well. Staff and pupils are highly respectful towards each other. Pupils are extremely kind to one another. Pupils participate in an extensive range of opportunities that support their wider personal development. They enjoy learning experiences that enrich their curriculum knowledge. These include caring for the school's chickens, growing produce and selling it to parents, which fosters pupils' enterprise skills. Pupils create and prepare recipes in the learning kitchen. They display immense pride when carrying out their many leadership roles. For instance, as peer mediators, and reading and well-being ambassadors. The school supports pupils to develop their strength of character and resilience.
