What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils thrive in this vibrant and exciting school. Pupils are safe, and they know how to stay safe aided by the school's caring and inclusive ethos. Teachers expect pupils to be at their best and show pupils how to be. As a result, pupils gain much important knowledge. They achieve exceptionally well and behave with tremendous maturity and sensitivity to others. The school nurtures highly 'compassionate citizens' who are well prepared for their future lives. Right from the Nursery, children learn to listen and interact positively with each other and their teachers. Pupils develop healthy relationships that are founded on respect. They embrace the responsibilities they will gain as they grow up. Pupils' actions and attitudes reflect the school values. They are kind, caring and empathetic. Pupils value the racial, social, cultural and religious diversity in society and across the world. They are open minded and tolerant. They make a rich contribution to school life. Older pupils are positive role models. They have significant opportunities to lead others. They run clubs and help younger children to read, for example. Pupils have a voice, and teachers listen. Pupils' views inform changes to the curriculum and the school environment. These experiences enrich pupils' understanding of democracy.
