What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2024

Pupils are excited to come into school each day. They follow the school's vision, to treat others as they themselves want to be treated, remarkably well. Pupils are celebrated for their individuality. This helps them to feel happy. The school has exceptionally high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, consistently live up to these expectations. They achieve highly. Pupils relish every opportunity to learn. Their behaviour is exemplary around the school. From the beginning of early years to Year 6, there is a calm and orderly atmosphere that enables pupils to focus completely on their learning. Pupils take pride in their learning. They shine in all that they do. This is reflected in the exceptional quality of work that pupils produce. They are able to recall a sizeable amount of prior learning. By the end of Year 6, pupils are extremely well prepared for secondary school. Children in Reception Year also learn exceedingly well. Pupils take full advantage of the vast array of enrichment activities on offer. For example, they benefit from exciting drama lessons and the opportunity to go on residential trips, some of which have a multicultural focus. Staff ensure that pupils benefit from the vast array of clubs on offer, such as the fencing, mini-golf and art clubs. Pupils are particularly proud of their sports achievements and the displays of their artwork.
