What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2024

Pupils receive an exceptional education at this school. They are happy to attend and say that everyone is welcome here. They are kind and polite. The school motto, 'Everyone, Everyday', underpins the excellent relationships the pupils have with staff and with each other. Pupils behave exceptionally well during lessons and at playtimes. They understand the school rules and delight in the rewards that they receive for making the correct choices. They particularly relish 'special mentions'. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils listen well and work diligently to the best of their ability. Year 6 pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils benefit from a vast array of opportunities that go beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils who are involved in the school council find out which clubs pupils would like to attend. This helps the school to provide opportunities that support pupils' talents and interests. From sports clubs to embroidery, money workshops to singing squad, the school supports the pupils' wider development exceedingly well. Pupils also benefit from carefully considered enrichment activities, such as theatre visits, 'princess football' days and residential trips. Pupils excel in their various roles and responsibilities. Reading ambassadors support younger pupils to develop a love of reading. Skilled digital leaders provide training to staff, including from other schools, in the use of new technologies and programmes. No matter what the responsibility, pupils make a tangible contribution to all aspects of school life.
