What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils thrive here. The school has very high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. The ambitious curriculum is very well taught. Many well-chosen trips and visitors inspire pupils' passion for and consolidation of learning. These include visiting places of worship in nearby cities and a visit from a mobile planetarium. Consequently, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Year on year pupils' learning is strong. It builds up and deepens so that by the end of Year 6, their achievement in national assessments is significantly above national expectations. Pupils enjoy a raft of opportunities to develop their confidence and broaden their interests. Pupils develop their leadership skills as house captains and members of the school council. Older pupils lead tours of the school for parents and carers. Pupils suggest and, with adult supervision, run a wide range of clubs. Pupils learn about the importance of contributing to their community when they raise money for charity. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe and healthy. They learn about fire and road safety and, in an age-appropriate way, consent. Pupils are determined to be the best they can be. They behave very well and treat others with respect and kindness. If pupils sometimes find it hard to manage their behaviour, staff leave no stone unturned in their work to help pupils improve.
