Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are extremely proud of their school, and rightly so. They strive to be 'exceptional' in all they do. Pupils are articulate, courteous and routinely kind and caring. The school's four values of being respectful, responsible, resilient and recognising success are evident in all they do and say.
Pupils demonstrate extremely positive attitudes to learning. The school is calm and ensures that all pupils learn to the very best of their ability. Pupils understand that the school has high expectations on how they should behave. They rise to these impressively. Older pupils are excellent role models to the younger pupils and support them through the 'buddy' system. This helps all pupils feel safe in school. They say; 'We are one big family.'
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed a curriculum that is interesting and engaging. Learning builds on what pupils have learned before in a highly sophisticated way, starting in the early years. Pupils talk about what they have learned with confidence and enthusiasm. They are highly interested in learning because lessons are engaging. The school ensures all staff are highly skilled to enable them to deliver these to the highest standard. Any adaptations made to support pupils with SEND are effective so they can learn effectively alongside their peers.
The school threads moral and social education very well through all aspects of the curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to think deeply about the actions of historical and current day figures and how lessons can be learned from their actions. Pupils can do this with impressive maturity, even at a young age.
