What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils are extremely happy in school. They never want to miss a day. This contributes to their high rates of attendance. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and at playtimes. They strive to live up to the school's values of fairness, resilience, teamwork and curiosity. Pupils said that they have a strong voice in school and that they use this to stand up for what is right. Pupils, and their parents and carers, said that they feel proud and fortunate to be a part of this welcoming school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), seize every opportunity to learn something new. For example, they relish taking part in the wide variety of after-school clubs on offer, such as yoga, coding, choir and engineering. Pupils, including those with SEND, achieve exceptionally well. They more than rise to the school's high expectations of their academic achievement. Pupils have a real thirst to learn more each and every day. Pupils leave the school at the end of Year 6 as knowledgeable and thoughtful individuals. They are extremely well prepared for the demands of secondary school.
