What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Right from the start of Reception, the school encourages pupils to be curious about the world around them and be connected to nature. Pupils thoroughly enjoy looking after hens, tending to their orchard, growing food on the allotment and selling their produce in the school shop. These activities are deeply enriching and help pupils to be happy and healthy and grow a very strong sense of responsibility. A parent said: 'Children at this school are very engaged with the world around them and how they shape the future of their world by the choices they make.' This is typical of many comments. The school is ambitious for every pupil, determined they will achieve as well as they possibly can. The curriculum is woven together so that pupils can make rich connections between subjects. For example, the activity of planting seamlessly moves between geographical chalkland features to examining scientific features of soil acidity. This improves their wider knowledge and understanding. As a result, they enjoy learning. Pupils behave incredibly well during lessons and at social times. They have highly positive attitudes towards their learning. They follow the school's rules. Pupils are happy and safe. They know teachers listen to any worries or concerns they may have and deal with them quickly.
