What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 June 2025

Leaders, pupils, staff and families are very proud of their exceptional school. Pupils love coming to school. They feel welcome and valued here. The school creates a caring and compassionate environment where pupils feel safe and cared for. The school's motto of 'Let's shine' is evident in all parts of school life. Pupils thrive and grow as well-rounded, confident individuals. There are extremely positive and trusting relationships between staff and pupils. High-quality pastoral care is a key feature of the school's work. Skilled staff help pupils to understand and manage their feelings independently. Through the curriculum, pupils learn how to manage risk, including when online. Pupils know how to keep themselves physically and mentally healthy. They learn how to demonstrate a deep understanding of their responsibilities to others and the wider world. The school has high expectations of pupils' work and behaviour. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. Their behaviour is exemplary. Children in the early years settle into routines quickly. They work and play together harmoniously. Pupils enjoy their learning, free from disruptions. No learning time is wasted. By the time they reach Year 6, pupils achieve well above national expectations. They are exceptionally well prepared for their transition to secondary school.
