Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is exceptionally strong. Pupils develop a deep understanding of difference and diversity in modern society.

(Ofsted 2017)

'British values are promoted exceptionally well. Pupils demonstrate a particularly good understanding of democracy. For example, in a Year 5 lesson pupils took part in a very mature debate about who should have the right to vote in Ancient Greece. The teacher made links to Nelson Mandela and to women gaining the right to vote in England. As a result, pupils are prepared extremely well for life in modern Britain.'

(Ofsted 2017)

'Behaviour, in and around school, is excellent and reflects the school’s effective and consistent strategies. Pupils have developed a ‘Language Charter’. This includes derogatory terms, which will not be used in school. As a result, pupils said that behaviour is good and there is very little name-calling.'

(Ofsted 2017)

'The work that the school does on understanding wider world cultures is exceptional. Through this work, pupils learn not to judge someone by the colour of their skin, their family background or religion or their likes and dislikes. Year 6 pupils demonstrate a good understanding of the African-American civil rights movement. The school is a Stonewall education champion and celebrates different sorts of families.'

(Ofsted 2017)

'Pupils develop a strong moral compass. They have an excellent understanding of right and wrong, which they demonstrate through their outstanding behaviour. Their very positive attitudes to learning lead to a focused, calm environment, which in turn has a positive impact on their educational and personal outcomes'.

(Ofsted 2017)

'Adults give pupils meaningful responsibilities. For example, the school council checks that lights are switched off and that rubbish is recycled in each classroom. Council members then announce the ‘eco winners’ and ‘eco sinners’ in assembly. This is carried out in a fun way, but pupils said that it makes them think carefully about the environment.'

(Ofsted 2017)
