What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

Pupils, and children in the early years, come to school happy and ready to learn. They are excited by their learning. They look forward to what each day will bring. Pupils know that staff care for them and this helps them to feel safe. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children in the early years through to pupils in Year 6 achieve very well. They are more than ready for the next stage of their education. Across the school, pupils' behaviour is excellent. From the start of the early years, children learn, and abide by, the school rules. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils can learn without distraction. They enjoy earning rewards such as 'value balls' and certificates that celebrate their many successes. Pupils enjoy attending a broad range of clubs that develop their talents and interests. For example, they learn to fence or participate in curling competitions. Pupils also have the chance to join the local brass band. Pupils take real pleasure in taking on leadership responsibilities. Members of the school council take their roles seriously. These pupils are very proud of the changes that they have made to improve the school lunch menu. Pupils raise funds to support charities that are close to their heart. They are kind and empathetic towards others who find themselves in challenging circumstances.
