What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils are delighted to be a part of this school and the positive culture it nurtures. They thrive on the many opportunities provided for them to learn and play together. They also particularly enjoy choosing from numerous before- and after-school clubs, which range from music to pottery to sports. Pupils said that they feel safe at school because they are in the company of adults who 'genuinely care for us'. They are confident that they will be listened to if they have any concerns or worries. The school wants its pupils to become 'knowledgeable learners'. This high aspiration is fully and consistently realised. Pupils achieve exceptionally well across subjects. In most instances, pupils achieve significantly better than national figures in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils in this school are expected to be 'caring, respectful, and curious'. Across the school pupils show kindness towards each other. Pupils like that the school encourages them to express themselves and is inclusive of everyone. They behave impeccably, both in and out of lessons. Pupils attend school regularly. If their attendance declines, the school does all it reasonably can to help them improve it. The school provides pupils with rich opportunities to understand the world around them. This includes getting involved in projects with the local community. For example, pupils take part in local initiatives to campaign for clean air and community rewilding. They engage with employers to understand the world of work.
