What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 February 2025
Pupils thrive in an environment that is caring, supportive and highly inclusive. The school is ambitious for pupils and ensures that they are well prepared for each step in their education journey. This is reflected in their achievement in reading, writing and mathematics, along with a range of other subjects. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They show great consideration towards one another. They are polite and thoughtful. This positive behaviour stems from pupils' understanding of the core values of the school, such as respect and tolerance. Pupils work hard in lessons. Children in the early years follow clear routines and engage enthusiastically in learning activities. Pupils of all ages co-operate with the adults to tidy up, help out and make the school a happy place to learn and make friends. Pupils undertake a range of leadership roles in school. They enjoy this responsibility and they learn from it. The heritage heroes are enthusiastic about local history, the technical team look after equipment and the eco warriors care for the environment. Pupils also enjoy a wide range of enrichment opportunities and trips. These often take them to places that they may not otherwise have a chance to visit, such as theatres and galleries.
