What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Pupils achieve highly at this joyful and thriving junior school. Expectations for behaviour and learning are relentlessly high. Pupils rise proudly to meet them. Because of the school's highly inclusive culture, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) flourish and make strong progress. Pupils chose the school's values of happiness, pride, creativity, resilience, empathy and excellence. Pupils have ownership for how they live by them and take responsibility for their own choices. As a result, behaviour is excellent. Pupils are highly respectful, open-minded, thoughtful and forgiving. Relationships are supportive, caring and kind. Everyone has a chance to shine. The school ensures that disadvantaged pupils never miss out. Pupils enjoy a rich offer of clubs, trips and visitors. From sporting competitions to theatre productions, countless opportunities nurture and showcase the unique talents and interests of every pupil. Pupil leadership across the school extends beyond the elected house captains and school councillors. Pupils make a tangible difference to school life through roles including 'anti- bullying ambassador' and 'equality and rights advocate'. These roles embed the school's impressive work to celebrate diversity and challenge discrimination. Curriculum and assembly activities promote fundamental British values, such as tolerance, actively, preparing pupils superbly for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- The feedback given to pupils about their learning is not always effective. As a result, pupils' misconceptions are not routinely addressed in a timely manner. The school must ensure that feedback addresses gaps in pupils' learning swiftly and effectively across all subjects.
