Ofsted Said…
“Pupils are enthusiastic about learning. They are cheerful and happy. Pupils feel safe in school.”
“There are high expectations for all pupils. Pupils know what the school expects of them. They work hard and successfully reach these high expectations.”
“In classrooms and around school, pupils behave well. They hold doors open for others with a cheery smile and greeting. Pupils are well mannered and polite.”
“The school values and celebrates all religions. Pupils enjoy finding out about other faiths. They visit a range of places of worship, such as the Hindu temple and the local parish church. Pupils enjoy being part of the rich and diverse culture of the school. They are very tolerant and respectful of others who are different to themselves. ”
“There are many opportunities for pupils to take part in activities beyond the classroom. In addition to a wide range of clubs that pupils can attend, they learn to play different musical instruments. There is a large school choir. Pupils are proud to sing with other pupils nationally as part of the largest children’s choir in the world.”
