What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
The school has exceptionally high expectations for its pupils and what they can achieve. Pupils develop knowledge, confidence and character through the school's academic curriculum and rich wider experiences. Pupils, staff, parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Leaders at all levels are knowledgeable and committed. They are effective in realising their plans to improve the school further. As a result, all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) excel in their learning. This is reflected in published outcomes in national assessment tests and the work pupils produce, which is of a high quality across all subjects. Pupils learn about the importance of community. They are kind, respectful and generous to others. From the early years, children take care to include others in their play and work together effectively. Pupils routinely reflect on how they can help others. After-school clubs such as cricket, chess, drama and coding are popular. Pupils participate widely in the school's orchestra, choirs, and art projects. Pupils perform regularly, including at distinguished venues. Pupils learn to play instruments including piano, drums, flute and cello.
