We are delighted to be able to share Ofsted’s report following their recent inspection on the 12th and 13th of November 2024, which found we have taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection, where we were judged good for overall effectiveness.
The report praised us for our friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Children are welcomed warmly and quickly settle into their learning environment. Our staff team are praised for meeting each child’s individual needs and helping children develop the language and social skills they need to become successful learners.
The school’s curriculum is described as ambitious, providing children with a strong foundation for their future education.
The report also highlighted the strong relationships between staff and children. These positive relationships create a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive.
Also highlighted are the range of opportunities to support children’s personal development. Children learn why it is important to eat healthy food and how to use tools safely. When outside, they develop their understanding of teamwork.
The report mentions that children take pride in carrying out their ‘special jobs’ and helping keep our school a tidy place.
