What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 March 2023

Leaders provide a positive, nurturing and well-organised environment. The curriculum helps pupils learn how to work and play alongside others. Pupils develop strategies to regulate their behaviour independently during the short time that they spend here. Leaders have developed a positive and respectful school culture that is shared by all. Pupils who attend the school are happy and safe. They enjoy their lessons and like the clear routines that the school provides. Leaders have high expectations that pupils should work hard, do their best and behave well. Pupils respond to these expectations very positively. Pupils take part in range of activities, including cultural visits and local trips. These are carefully planned to enhance pupils' experiences as part of the wider curriculum. Leaders' work to promote pupils' interests and talents is excellent. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. The school is a highly calm and orderly place to learn. If a pupil does get upset, adults help them to become ready to learn again as soon as possible. Pupils who are anti- bullying ambassadors support others in understanding and preventing bullying. Leaders deal with any incidents quickly and effectively.
