What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils love coming to this friendly and welcoming school. They know that staff expect a lot, though give more in return. Expectations of what pupils can achieve in and out of the classroom are extremely high. Children in Reception think that this is a fun place to be. However, they already know that working hard and learning new things is what school is all about. Pupils behave very well here. They disapprove of any interruption to their studies, including by visitors who ask them questions when they are concentrating on their work. They feel safe in the school's nurturing environment, including being confident to make mistakes. As a result, classrooms are happy places where pupils grow in confidence and are hungry to discover new things. Everyone is expected to try hard here, then try again if things are not quite right the first time. Pupils know that staff are always there to help. This might be when their friendships are strained, but also when solving mathematical problems or during rehearsals with the orchestra. Consequently, pupils from different backgrounds thrive and achieve very well together across the curriculum, including as budding artists, musicians and scientists.
