What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 March 2022
Pupils, staff, parents and governors are extremely proud of their excellent school. It is a happy school where pupils feel very safe. Pupils love coming to school and are exceptionally enthusiastic about all that they do. One parent said, 'The glee with which we see our child run into school is a joy to behold.' Pupils are encouraged to develop curious and enquiring minds and they thoroughly enjoy their learning. Pupils meet teachers' high expectations for them to succeed in their academic and personal development. One parent said, 'My child has grown in confidence with all aspects of learning and personal development since being at the school and it is lovely to see he is being challenged, but in a positive, supportive and encouraging way.' Pupils understand and live up to the school's values and principles of community, diversity and resilience, represented in the school by the wolf, the eagle, the salmon and the dolphin. The school's values are very successfully threaded through the curriculum, extra activities, assemblies and social times. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They cannot recall any incidents of bullying. They are confident about talking to staff and say that any concerns are dealt with promptly and fairly.
