What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

This is a highly inclusive school where pupils benefit from an excellent quality of education. The school has very high expectations of pupils, who strive to meet them. Pupils achieve exceptionally well and benefit hugely from the warm and respectful relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are consistently thoughtful, kind and considerate towards each other and adults. From the time they start in Reception, children are taught the importance of being resilient and curious. They are confident to ask for help if they have any worries. Skilled staff ensure pupils think about the feelings behind their behaviour so that they can self-regulate effectively. Consequently, pupils feel safe and very happy. Pupils embrace roles of responsibility and make meaningful contributions to the school community, for example by becoming well-being ambassadors or eco- warriors. Pupils are proud of their roles because they understand the value of helping others. Pupils know that their views contribute to making their school a better place. They share their views and opinions with staff to bring about change, such as making the school more sustainable.
