What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

The school successfully encourages pupils to be their best, excel academically and thrive personally. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly. Pupils meet leaders' high expectations of their behaviour. Pupils are polite and think of others before themselves. They are safe in school and know that staff will deal swiftly with any concerns that they may have. The school works closely with the school community so that all parents and carers feel included in the life of the school. One parent, typical of many, said: 'My child is very happy in this school. The teachers are wonderful and have the power to convey the love of education to the children.' The school organises many leadership opportunities for pupils so that they can contribute to the school and wider society. The 'children's leadership team', made up of elected ambassadors, captains and councillors, help make decisions about the school. For example, members of the team quizzed a local MP on local issues and successfully campaigned for a change in the school dinner menu. Well-being champions support the mental health of their peers and junior travel ambassadors petitioned to pedestrianise the front of the school during home time.
