From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils at this school receive a wonderful and happy learning experience. There are high expectations of what they can achieve. Pupils respond every day by working with high levels of focus. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils consistently produce work that demonstrates their strong knowledge. It also reflects the great pride that they take in their learning. Pupils' achievements are impressive. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable throughout the school day. This is the result of the trusting relationships that are developed by staff who know their pupils well and understand their learning needs. Children in the early years classes learn to listen carefully to each other and to adults. Older pupils speak enthusiastically about the house points that they receive for being role models and living out the school's values. The school ensures that pupils feel included in all aspects of school life. They have a commitment to the success of all pupils. Pupils celebrate the diversity that exists within their school.
