What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. This is a lively, happy and safe place where pupils develop curiosity and a love of learning. The environment around the school is carefully considered to capture pupils' interest. Young children thrive when they join the school, developing confidence and independence very quickly. Pupils are kind and respectful. They have a keen understanding of fairness and equality. Warm, supportive relationships underpin all of the excellent work the school does. Pupils adopt the same calm and considerate manner that they see staff model. Ambition and high achievement are expected here. Pupils enjoy the challenge. They know the value of learning and say that they want to learn to read so they 'can read anything and learn anything'. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly, including in national tests at the end of key stage 1. Pupils celebrate their own successes and each other's. Through weekly 'WOW' assemblies, they learn to be proud of their efforts and creativity. They learn about different cultures and faiths. All pupils are helped to develop talents and interests through clubs, trips, forest school and the very rich curriculum.
