What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
The school is alive with learning opportunities. Pupils are excited by the wealth of experiences they have here. Leaders have high expectations of every pupil. Teachers recognise the efforts pupils make to go above and beyond what is expected of them. The well-planned curriculum ensures that pupils excel. Leaders have created an exceptional learning environment with rich opportunities for all pupils. Pupils are taught how to be good citizens of the school and local community. Leaders organise a large range of opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities and to support their peers. For instance, pupils in Years 5 and 6 take their roles seriously to be 'buddies' for pupils in Reception and Year 1 during lunchtimes. 'Bully Busters' proactively support pupils in the school and promote positive relationships. Bullying is not tolerated in the school, and staff deal with any incidents very quickly. Behaviour is very positive throughout all areas of the school. Pupils enjoy warm and respectful working relationships with adults. Pupils are safe and know that adults will support them if they have any concerns.
