Ofsted Said…
“This is a friendly school where everyone is welcome. Pupils typically describe their time in school as being ‘happy’. They say that they feel well cared for. This sense of well-being starts from the early years, where pupils are carefully settled into school life.”
“Leaders set high expectations for how pupils should behave. Pupils respond by behaving exceptionally well during lessons and playtimes. They are incredibly polite and respectful.”
“Lunchtimes are filled with fun activities where everyone can join in, such as football coaching sessions and reading. Whole-school Christmas and Easter productions are a highlight in the school’s calendar.”
“Pupils take their leadership roles seriously. For example, they are proud to become worship councillors who regularly lead on collective worship. School councillors recently participated in a local road safety project to improve safe parking near to school. Older pupils enjoy their responsibility of supporting younger pupils with reading and as playground buddies.”
“Pupils are taught a broad curriculum that is ambitious. The curriculum has been enhanced in recent years, with more emphasis placed on teaching pupils to read well. Most pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics.”
