What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

This is a joyful and inspirational place. Pupils say it is an amazing school. Parents and carers are equally complimentary of the school's work. Strong, nurturing working relationships underpin the happy, community feel. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve excellent outcomes at this school. The trust is ambitious for all pupils. The broad and balanced curriculum ensures that pupils know more and remember more. They build strong conceptual understanding across subjects. This prepares pupils in very good stead as they move on to secondary school. Expectations for pupils' behaviour are equally high. Children are encouraged from the early years to be polite and independent. Pupils hold doors and interact with adults very politely. Older pupils explain that they are taught to be mature and independent. For instance, they learn to sort out any minor disagreements themselves calmly. Pupils feel very safe at school because they know that staff look out for them. There is a high level of trust and respect among the school community. Pupils talk animatedly about all that the school has to offer, such as the winning sports teams and the exciting residential trips.
