Ofsted report
Our latest Ofsted inspection and report highlights many strengths of the school. We are please that Ofsted recognised our commitment to creating a happy, inclusive, caring and academically challenging environment.
Pupils enjoy school and see it as a happy place to be. They feel respected by their peers and they value the caring approach of staff. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel included in this supportive school community.
Pupils are safe at school. They respond well to the high expectations that staff set for their behaviour. Bullying, although rare, is tackled decisively by staff. Classrooms are calm and pupils focus on their work. They enjoy meeting the high standards that teachers set for their learning. Pupils achieve well in many subjects across the curriculum.
Leaders have established a rich offer for pupils' wider development within the curriculum. For example, pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed a mental health project delivered by a premier league football club. These pupils also have opportunities to develop their leadership skills, where they are encouraged to 'be the change that they want to see'.
