What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
Pupils are happy and proud to attend this school. They receive a high-quality education and achieve extremely well. Pupils benefit from a rich programme of personal development, which helps to develop their resilience and confidence. Pupils participate in an extraordinary range of opportunities beyond the curriculum. The school ensures that there are no barriers to what pupils can achieve. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). From an early age, pupils learn to cooperate with each other and respect others. In the early years, staff make sure that children understand and follow clear routines. For example, they learn to listen, take turns and to persevere when a task is difficult. Incidents of bullying are very rare. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils care for each other and are keen to take on different leadership roles. For example, pupils act as 'kindness champions' to support younger pupils playing games in the playground. Pupils are encouraged to share their worries with staff. Staff respond promptly to individual concerns. This helps pupils to feel safe in school.
