OFSTED RESULTS 2026
We are delighted with our recent Ofsted report and that we were praised by inspectors for creating a culture in which “Pupils are very proud to be part of this inclusive school, where everyone is encouraged to serve others” with “high expectations for all pupils” and leaders making decisions that are “firmly rooted in pupils’ best interests”.
Our school was specifically commended for its nurturing environment where “pupils can learn with little disruption”, knowledgeable staff and aspirational leaders. The inspectors found “pupils are enthusiastic about their learning” throughout the school.
The official Ofsted report highlights a positive school culture, describing it as a community where “diversity is celebrated and every pupil is valued” and that “Leaders and staff help pupils to be confident and kind citizens”. The inspectors noted strong “relationships between pupils and staff” and that “Parents and carers praise the efforts staff make to help their children achieve, belong and thrive”.
Children in the Early Years “get off to a positive start” and are well prepared for Year 1. Staff “prioritise developing children’s language and communication skills” and “respond sensitively to children's individual needs”
