The inspection highlights exceptional early years provision and outstanding behaviour, with pupils demonstrating “exemplary attitudes to learning” and high levels of respect. While the quality of education and leadership are judged as good, the school fosters a strong sense of community and ambition for all pupils to achieve highly.
Strengths
- Early years provision is outstanding, with children becoming “confident talkers” and achieving extremely well in reading and phonics.
- Behaviour and attitudes are outstanding; pupils show “exemplary attitudes to learning” and model high levels of respect for one another.
- Personal development is outstanding, with an extensive offer including clubs, community involvement, and opportunities to debate topical news items.
- Pupils achieve particularly well in mathematics, developing knowledge to solve “increasingly complex problems.”
- Staff provide “highly effective support” for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring accurate identification of needs and purposeful curriculum adaptations.
Areas to improve
