What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

Pupils are proud to attend this school. They have excellent attitudes to their learning. Pupils are motivated to achieve the high standards set by the school. Pupils are excited to come to school and they enjoy being with their friends in a caring and inclusive environment. Older pupils act as great role models, demonstrating the school values of kindness and respect. For example, they really enjoy being reading buddies to younger pupils. Pupils are safe in school. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. The school has designed a programme of study that is ambitious and reflects the needs and interests of pupils in the school. This ambition is clear from the very start of the early years and continues through to Year 6. Staff know exactly what pupils need to know and remember to be successful at the next stage of their learning. Staff are skilled at checking what pupils know and making sure they are ready for their next steps. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Regardless of the activity, working independently or in groups, pupils take responsibility for their own behaviour and manage their emotions extremely well. School routines are well established. This starts in the early years where children settle quickly and learn to share and be kind from the very start.
