What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 October 2022

Pupils love learning the rich and ambitious curriculum on offer at this school. They also enjoy attending the many school-run clubs and trips that aim to develop their knowledge even further. They are very happy at school. Pupils feel safe because they trust leaders and staff to care for them. Staff also help pupils to understand how to keep safe and avoid harm. The curriculum is exceptionally well designed and taught. Leaders and staff are determined that pupils do well in every curriculum subject. They help pupils to build on what they know, lesson by lesson and from year to year. Over time, pupils acquire detailed knowledge of a subject. In science, for example, pupils spoke in depth about how plants grow and reproduce. Reading is a top priority. Pupils read regularly and are encouraged to read a rich range of genres and authors. Pupils become confident readers. Their excellent start in reading plays an important part in helping them to learn very well across the curriculum. Staff and leaders help pupils to understand and manage their emotions. Pupils support each other. Bullying is extremely rare. It stops quickly because pupils speak out when needed, and staff respond effectively. In all aspects of school life, behaviour is excellent.
