What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2022

This is a joyful place. Laughter and cries of glee can be heard all day as children delight in their learning. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They typically commented on how happy their children are and how much they learn. Children demonstrate positive attitudes and high levels of confidence. Leaders and staff have high expectations of all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children rise to these expectations. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They know the rules and make sure they and their friends follow them. Leaders are passionate about giving children memorable experiences. They ensure that a wide range of activities, including visits to places of interest such as the Henry Moore Foundation, are accessible to all. Adults create a nurturing, safe environment where children can thrive. Children appreciate the strong professional relationships that underpin this wonderful place. They said that it is very rare for anyone to be unkind. They would tell an adult if it ever did happen. Adults deal with any issues that may arise very quickly.
