What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Pupils love their school and value the education they receive. They attend exceptionally well. Pupils 'are ready to learn'. They behave respectfully and are kind. This is because their teachers expect them to be at their very best. Pupils are safe. They check that their friends are happy. Pupils understand that they can always bring their concerns to an adult. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Children in the Nursery listen carefully and work well with other children. Older pupils are highly positive role models. They mediate and ensure fairness when pupils play. Pupils do not tolerate less positive behaviours or attitudes from others. They participate enthusiastically in lessons and read widely. Pupils enjoy a tremendous range of extra-curricular activities and trips. They visit museums, animal sanctuaries and nature reserves. They learn Indian and Aboriginal dance and go to the theatre. These experiences enhance pupils' historical, scientific and cultural knowledge. Pupils hone their sporting prowess through a range of martial arts clubs. They learn to fence, develop their gymnastic expertise and play chess. Visits from authors, the police, medical practitioners and religious leaders enrich pupils' understanding of society and future professions. Parents and carers overwhelmingly endorse the school.
