Our last Ofsted was in December 2018. We were told that we are a 'Good' school.
These are some of our favourite comments from our Ofsted report:
- "The provision for supporting pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is strong. The school's values of love, service, peace, mercy, belief and truth are uphelp by pupils and staff."
- "The nurturing school environment creates a strong community where individuals are respected and valued alike."
- "There is a positive climate for learning across all year groups in the school. Pupils have boundless energy and enthusiasm for learning. Teachers foster this passion well and this enables pupils to grow with their learning across the curriculum."
- "Pupils behave well. They have positive attitudes to their learning and work hard. They are unreservedly friendly and honest. Relatiionships between staff and pupils are very positive."
- "Teachers plan thoughtfully to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and or disabilities."
- "The curriculum is well-planned. It provides pupils with opportunities to develop a love of learning through well-targetted enrichment opportunities."
- "All parents who responded to Ofsted's questionnaire agreed that their children feel safe, happy and well looked after at the school... Pupils also state that they feel safe and looked after in school."
