What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 June 2024
Pupils love coming to this warm, caring and inclusive school. They understand the school ethos of taking a risk 'to be the best person you can be' and enthusiastically explain how they and their friends strive to do this daily. Older pupils support younger children as a matter of course and all pupils have great confidence in the adults around them. They know that if they have a problem, help will be provided. They feel safe and cared for. All staff have high expectations of pupils and make sure that they have the support to achieve them. Behaviour is impeccable because pupils know what they should do and why they should do it. Even the youngest children understand that they have responsibilities to others; to be kind and respectful to other children and adults alike. Pupils enjoy their learning. They are resilient because they have been taught that mistakes are opportunities to learn more. They are happy to try and try again, taking great pride in their achievements. Pupils in this school have every opportunity to realise their potential and do so with alacrity.
