A school in March was rated 'good' in all areas during a two-day Section 5 Ofsted inspection.

The inspectors found that Cavalry Primary School was a "warm and friendly school where pupils have strong relationships with their peers and the adults".

Having visited in June, they also commented that pupils were "happy, wanted to do well at school and displayed a ‘have-a-go’ attitude when it comes to their learning".

The report added that "pupils know that staff want them to achieve as well as they can, and they respond well to encouragement".

Further comments from the inspectors included that pupils “are encouraged to develop their talents and interests”. 

The inspectors felt this as the pupils shared their experiences and extra-curricular opportunities including performing at The Royal Opera House, playing instruments in the school band, singing in the choir and attending a wide range of sporting competitions.

Inspectors noticed "pupils’ high-quality artwork is displayed proudly around the school" too.

Mrs Edwards, acting headteacher, said: "We are absolutely thrilled that the hard work of our pupils, staff and wider community has been recognised.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all involved for their dedication and investment in our wonderful school."
