What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Pupils thrive at this exciting, nurturing and inclusive school. There is a welcoming, friendly and purposeful atmosphere and a strong sense of community. Pupils are happy and enjoy learning. Parents appreciate this culture, with one saying, 'Strong leadership from the top, coupled with excellent teaching and support staff, makes for a very happy environment.' The school's values of respect, resilience, responsibility, cooperation and individuality are deeply embedded and very ably demonstrated by the pupils in all that they do. Leaders' expectations are highly ambitious for the academic and personal development of all pupils. This is reflected in an exceptionally rich curriculum and pupils' exemplary behaviour and attitudes. Bullying is very rare. Pupils have absolute confidence that staff will deal quickly with any issues should they occur. Pupils feel very safe in school. They have highly positive and trusting relationships with staff. Children in Reception settle very well and learn the routines of the school quickly. Pupils are provided with many opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities. They make an active contribution to the school community and take their roles as 'ambassadors' seriously. Pupils take great pride in their school, their achievements and the achievements of others.
