Following our inspection in April 2026, our OFSTED report highlights some of our many strengths.

“Pupils arrive each morning eager for the day ahead and excited to find out what they will be learning. They are pleased to see their friends and the staff, who warmly welcome them to this nurturing, happy and safe place. The school's value of 'Let your light shine' is the hallmark of everyday routines, which ensures that all pupils feel valued and included.”

• “Pastoral support is effective and helps all pupils to have a palpable sense of belonging.”
• “Pupils focus intently in lessons because they are inspired by learning. They also behave well at social times… Pupils’ enjoyment of school is evident in their high attendance.”
• “The school offers a wealth of opportunities for pupils to enrich their learning. Pupils clearly want to be in school and not miss out on learning, being with friends or the additional activities they can take part in.”
• “Pupils behave well and live up to the school's high expectations for their conduct and attitudes. They embody the school rules and are ‘kind and responsible’ towards others.”
• “Relationships between staff and pupils are underpinned by mutual respect and care. Incidents of bullying or discrimination are very rare and pupils are confident to ‘call out’ this type of behaviour if they see it.”
• “Leaders ensure that pupils access a rich and varied range of opportunities and experiences.”
• “Attendance is above national averages for all groups and persistent absence is consistently low.”
• “Pupils’ enjoyment of school is evident in their high attendance.”
