I am delighted to share the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection on the 9th and 10th December 2025, which confirmed that the school continues to provide a strong and effective education for our pupils. The inspection recognised many areas of strength across the school, including Inclusion, Behaviour and Attendance, and Personal Development and Wellbeing. We are extremely proud of this positive outcome, which reflects our shared commitment to the care and support we offer to help every child be the very best they can be.
About the new Ofsted Inspection Framework
From November 2025, Ofsted introduced a new education inspection framework that changes how schools and early years settings in England are judged: instead of a single overall grade like “Good” or “Outstanding,” each setting now receives a detailed report card with separate graded evaluations in key areas such as leadership & governance, curriculum & teaching, achievement, attendance & behaviour, personal development & wellbeing, inclusion and EYFS; inspectors use a five-point scale — Urgent improvement, Needs attention, Expected standard, Strong standard, and Exceptional — and safeguarding is judged separately as either met or not met.
Here are the outcomes and headlines:
What it’s like to be a pupil at this school
“Pupils love their school, they feel valued, supported and cared for. The wide curriculum offer creates enthusiasm, engagement and a love of learning. Pupils enjoy this exciting curriculum which embraces the heritage of the community. For example, pupils get to learn about the key landmarks of London and its history. They value where they live and the diversity within the school community. Pupils are proud to share their learning and show excitement when they talk about their school community.
The school has high expectations for all pupils and acknowledge that many pupils face wider challenges in everyday life. The school creates a culture of aspiration and shared success.
Not all pupils achieve the expected level at the end of Year 6 in national curriculum tests. However, the bespoke support enables pupils to make progress from their individual starting points.
This is a truly inclusive school; leaders do all they can to support pupils to overcome the barriers to learning. Leaders have high ambition for all pupils and provide extensive support to meet pupils’ individual needs. Leaders and staff know their pupils and families well, they do all they can to ensure pupils have the academic and social development to thrive.
Playtimes are a joyful, happy environment which promote play, imagination and conversation. Bullying is rare as pupils learn to respect and value each other. Staff and pupils share positive and warm working relationships. Pupils feel safe and know that they can communicate any worries to staff. Everyone looks out for each other and behaviour throughout the school is calm and positive.
Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities and support to enhance their personal development and wellbeing. For instance, pupils describe the impact drama therapy has on supporting their concentration and enjoyment of learning. Carefully planned enrichment activities enhance pupils’ curriculum understanding.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our hardworking, skilled, and dedicated staff. Their professionalism, teamwork, and unwavering commitment to our pupils were clearly evident throughout the inspection and are at the heart of everything we do. I am so proud to work with them all. I would also like to thank you, our parents and carers, for your ongoing support and partnership, which plays such an important role in the success of our school. We look forward to building on this success together as we continue to provide the very best education for your children.
Kind regards
Kate Wooder MBE
Executive Head

This is an Ofsted online questionnaire that allows parents and carers to give their views about your child’s school at any time. It is also the main mechanism for parents to give their views about their child’s school to inspectors at the time of a school inspection.
Parent View can also be completed at any time during the year. This information contributes to Ofsted’s risk assessment process, to help decide if and when a school should be inspected.
We also use this tool to help us understand what our parents think of our school and what, if anything we could improve upon.

In school we carry out a Parent and Pupil Survey twice a year.
The results are published in our Annual Report to Parents which you can find on our curriculum page.
