What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 February 2026
Pupils enter the school joyfully each day. They love coming to school and value the relationships they develop with other pupils and members of staff. This motivates them to attend each day. They feel safe and are learning well. They particularly enjoy the range of activities that are offered to them beyond their academic learning. For example, they are enthusiastic about the extra-curricular clubs. Cooking with parents and carers is highlighted by pupils as an experience not to be missed. Pupils develop a deep and secure understanding of fundamental British values, such as through class voting, which helps pupils to learn about democracy. Pupils celebrate what makes them different. They enjoy learning alongside those who have a different perspective of the world to them. Leaders highlight diversity, for example by the promotion of festivals and celebrations such as Diwali, Bonfire Night and Eid. This school is a truly inclusive and cohesive community. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Behaviour at the school is very positive and high expectations support pupils' learning and wellbeing. Bullying is rare and if it does happen it is dealt with by leaders effectively. Pupils are supported to develop their knowledge and understanding of a range of subjects through the ambitious and carefully designed curriculum. Teaching is consistently effective. Pupils are supported to learn the curriculum well, and they are ready for the next stage of their education. This is exemplified by pupils' outcomes in key stage 2 national tests in reading, writing and mathematics, where results are close to the national average overall. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged also learn the curriculum very well. Pupils receive helpful support if they need it, which reduces any barriers to their learning or wellbeing.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should build on their work to ensure that consistently effective teaching leads to pupils' high achievement across the curriculum.
