After an inspection on July 3 and 4, the school was handed the second-highest grade for its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision, and an 'outstanding' for pupils' personal development.
Lead Ofsted inspector Annabel Davies highlighted that the 'small school community is friendly and welcoming' and that pupils support each other. In the report, she said: 'Pupils are polite and kind to each other. They help other pupils at break time to play together and make friends.'
Head of school Stella McCarthy said: 'We are delighted with the inspection report, especially as we are celebrating our 300th birthday as a primary school this year, so a good Ofsted really adds to the celebrations.'
The Ofsted report also focused on the school's leadership opportunities for pupils. Ms Davies said: 'Through these opportunities they gain confidence in public speaking and develop their leadership skills. For example, reading ambassadors in Years 5 and 6 help to organise the school library and classroom book corners.'
