What is it like to attend this school? Ofsted.
Pupils treat each other with kindness. This helps them feel happy and safe. Good manners underpin everything. From the minute they join the school, children learn how to share equipment and how to wait patiently for their turn. Staff have high expectations for pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, everyone is encouraged to do their best. Achievement throughout the school is improving.
Pupils behave consistently well and have positive attitudes to study. Lessons buzz with discussions about learning. In English, pupils learn vital debating skills through text and character analysis, and in mathematics, pupils discuss the best method for solving complex calculations. Corridors are calm. Breaktimes and lunchtimes are a blaze of activity.

The wider personal development of pupils is a strength. Pupils benefit from a wide range of leadership opportunities, such as Student Council members, Prayer Leaders and Sports, House and Eco Captains. These opportunities teach them vital leadership skills, such as time management and responsibility. Older pupils relish the opportunity to organise their own Play Leader rota for children in Reception. A group of Year 6 pupils formed ‘The Bookworms’. They organise activities for the whole school and raise funds for good causes.
