In our 2022 OFSTED inspection at the Primary School the inspector said:
The pupils’ happiness and excitement are seen and felt as they enter the school gates. Their exuberance brings life and energy to this school. Pupils are safe because they show kindness towards each other, and the staff are ‘warm,welcoming, and caring’. Many parents rightly share the view that the school‘ provides a supportive, safe and encouraging environment for the children’.
In our 2021 OFSTED inspection at the Nursery School the inspector said:
Children attend school with enthusiasm. They enjoy playing and discovering in the woods within the school grounds. Children flourish in the extensive outdoor spaces. This is because the curriculum provides a wealth of well-planned activities to support their wider development. Children play together happily and are well looked after. Adults create a caring and nurturing environment. They make sure that children are safe and teach them to be considerate of each other.
