What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2022

Pupils flourish at this friendly school. The education they receive is top notch. Leaders' vision for all pupils and staff to 'let their light shine' is lived out by all. Leaders' high expectations are firmly embedded. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are proud to go to the school. Pupils are courteous and relationships with their teachers are warm. A strong sense of kindness and respect permeates throughout. Pupils understand the different types of bullying and, although very rare, they know any incidents will be dealt with effectively by adults. This makes pupils feel safe. Leaders have developed a highly ambitious curriculum. They want the very best for pupils. Leaders have a commitment to professional development for all staff, who are knowledgeable and very skilled. Teachers carefully plan activities so that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve very well. Pupils are motivated and bubble with enthusiasm in lessons. Pupils relish the enrichment and leadership opportunities available. The 'agents of change' and Year 6 ambassadors play an important role in shaping school life. As one parent summarised, 'The school has very clear and positive values that help children to think about the wider world around them and how they can make a difference.'
