What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Pupils blossom in this warm, vibrant and welcoming school. They arrive happily in the morning, eagerly anticipating all of the learning that each day brings. Pupils find their lessons fun and engaging. They feel safe, valued and supported by staff, who encourage them to try hard and do their best. They trust leaders and staff to help them if they have any concerns or worries. The school believes that there is 'limitless potential for every child'. Leaders have designed the curriculum with this aspirational aim in mind. Since the last inspection, they have further strengthened the curriculum and its delivery. As a result, pupils benefit from expert teaching that enables them to achieve exceptionally well across subjects. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary because the school's expectations are clear and consistently reinforced. Pupils treat each other, and adults, with kindness and respect. Pupils listen attentively and support one another. They show genuine appreciation for the staff, who help them to learn and grow. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They praise how well their children are learning, the high expectations set by staff and the strong sense of community. Many parents say they know how happy their children are because they often talk enthusiastically about their day at school.
