We are delighted with the outcome of our most recent Ofsted report 3 March 2026 which can be found on the main school Ofsted page.
Ofsted said:
Leaders have high aspirations for children in the early years and are clear about the knowledge and skills they want them to secure.
The new Nursery provision ensures that children make an excellent start to their educational journey. Partnerships with parents and carers are a strength and ensure that children settle quickly and confidently into the early years.
Staff know children well, identify barriers promptly and provide timely support so that any child at risk of falling behind catches up quickly.
The curriculum is well designed and sequenced, ensuring that key knowledge builds progressively from Nursery to the end of the Reception Year. Adults interact skilfully with children, using precise vocabulary and well‑chosen questions to extend language and deepen understanding.
