What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils thrive at this inclusive and nurturing school. Staff share an ambitious vision. The school has the highest expectations of every pupil. The curriculum is planned, structured and sequenced thoroughly. Staff teach the curriculum very well. There are no limits to what pupils can achieve. The school provides many rich learning opportunities for all pupils. Pupils are happy here. They talk with such enthusiasm about school life. From the early years to Year 6, pupils' behaviour in class, around the school and at breaktimes is exceptional. Pupils' relationships with each other and adults are strong and caring. This is because staff model what respectful behaviour looks like. Pupils treat one another with the highest levels of respect and courtesy. They feel safe. Pupils have the freedom to express themselves as individuals. Pupils are well prepared to become the active citizens and leaders of the future. They have an active voice in the school's pupil parliament and take the lead on caring for the school environment. Pupils benefit from opportunities to develop their talents and interests in music and sport. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school.
