What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
This is a warm, welcoming and vibrant school that provides an exceptional all-round education for its pupils. Pupils of all ages, including those in the early years, thrive and flourish here. The school's values of kindness and empathy are demonstrated regularly by all members of the community. Leaders have very high expectations of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations. They work hard and achieve highly. Pupils' many successes are reflected in the outcomes they reach across the curriculum, including in national assessments. Pupils benefit from a very wide range of opportunities in music, sport and art. A very large number of pupils take instrumental lessons or are members of a school rock band. Many pupils take part in the annual music festival involving twelve mini music concerts. Every week, older pupils take part in a 'park run' at the local park. There is a thriving outdoor environment. Pupils look forward to their lunchtimes where they take part in a wide range of organised games and activities in the very well-designed playground. Pupils are incredibly proud of their school. Parents and carers greatly appreciate the work of staff and leaders.
