What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Pupils are happy and flourish at this exceptional school. Through exciting learning opportunities, children in the early years get off to a flying start. Pupils across the school are nurtured by staff who give them every opportunity to succeed and to shine. They are exceedingly well prepared for the next stage of their learning. The school sets an extremely high bar for pupils' academic achievement. Pupils strive to live up to these expectations. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Pupils eagerly respond to the school's behaviour expectations. They rarely need reminding to do their best. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable in class, during social times and as they move around the school. Pupils delight in the plentiful opportunities that the school provides to develop their talents and interests. For instance, pupils relish the many clubs that they can attend. They also greatly value the wide variety of sporting activities that the school offers. These include cricket, hockey and table tennis events and competitions. Pupils in the school choir, and those who learn to play musical instruments, enjoy regular opportunities to perform for their parents and carers and members of the wider community.
