What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 July 2024

Pupils described their school as a 'family' and a 'caring community'. They enjoy attending and they are kept safe. Pupils like the small size of the school and they get to know everyone. They get on very well with one another and enjoy their playtimes together. Pupils trust adults in the school to resolve any issues that may arise. The school is highly ambitious for all its pupils. Starting in early years, the school provides a broad curriculum that engages children and deepens their knowledge. Staff are relentless in removing any barriers to pupils' learning that may exist. Leaders take full advantage of the school's location to enrich pupils' learning. For example, pupils visit the nearby British Library and the school welcomes reading volunteers from a local law firm. Year 6 pupils develop their areas of interest via the 'university' project, which provides experiences in writing, drama, dance and music. Pupils are extremely well prepared for their transition to secondary school. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are thoughtful and caring, treating one another with respect. Pupils of all ages learn how to manage their emotions and take responsibility for their actions. They are articulate and are keen to contribute to their school community, for example through charity fundraising.
