What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this exceptional school. They thrive in their education and take an active part in all aspects of school life. This gives them a great sense of belonging. They know the school is a special place to be and they love attending. The school's vision for 'happy children, inspired learners' is being realised to the full. Pupils learn a broad range of subjects that they study in great depth. They become engrossed in their studies and make excellent progress through the curriculum. They are knowledgeable. By the time they leave the school, pupils are fully equipped to be highly successful in the next stage of their education. The school is a joyful and purposeful place for pupils to learn. Bullying is not tolerated. As one pupil stated, 'If bullying happens, we are upstanders never bystanders.' Adults know pupils and families well. They care about them and include them. This gives the school a strong community spirit. Children from the early years onwards benefit from many high-quality experiences that boost their interests and talents. From art clubs to ballet lessons, karate to construction, staff go out of their way to arrange inspiring opportunities for everyone.
