Ofsted
Outstanding Inspected 13 February 2024
Strengths
- “This is a happy school where pupils excel.”
- “Parents and carers, staff and pupils praise its ‘family feeling’.”
- “In addition, pupils gain a first-rate introduction to their lives as responsible, respectful citizens of modern Britain.”
To improve
- “Children in the early years learn well, but not as impressively as older pupils.”
- “This is because the school’s thinking about some of the knowledge that it will teach children in early years is less well developed.”
