What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Pupils are very proud to be a part of this highly successful school. They feel happy and safe, valued and heard. Pupils are respectful and thoughtful and treat one another kindly. On the rare occasions when behaviour falls below the school's high expectations, pupils have confidence that the school will sort it out. The school has high ambitions for all pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) study the full curriculum alongside their peers. The school sets high expectations for behaviour in lessons, and pupils strive to meet them. They display exemplary attitudes to learning. Older pupils become focused, independent and resilient learners. As a result, they achieve very well across the curriculum, producing work of a high quality. By the time pupils leave Year 6, they are very well prepared for their next adventures in education. An impressive drive to provide pupils with life in all its fullness stands out in the variety of enrichment activities the school offers. Whether it is representing the school at competitive sporting events or taking on a role as a peer mediator, pupils relish contributing to their school life and its successes. Pupils are genuinely active partners in this vibrant learning community.
