What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 July 2024

The school motto of 'everyone is different, everyone is equal, everyone is welcome' shines through. This is a school where everyone is included and valued. The school is passionate about helping pupils to become well-rounded, empathetic citizens. High expectations for behaviour are clear and consistently applied. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) demonstrate this through their excellent conduct and exceptional attitudes to learning. Behaviour in class and around the school is excellent. This starts in the Nursery, where children show exceptional levels of concentration for their age. The school provides highly effective pastoral support for the pupils in its care. The curriculum successfully promotes well-being and all-round achievement. They are happy in school and know who to report concerns to if they have a worry. Pupils are safe, happy and enjoy attending school. Older pupils take on many leadership responsibilities like eco monitors, well-being ambassadors and school councillors. Pupils embrace these roles. They are proud to make a tangible difference and celebrate their contributions to the life of the school. The school engages extremely well with the local community, with pupils carrying out litter picks or raising money for the local children's hospital.

What the school should improve

  • In a minority of wider curriculum subjects, the school has not identified with enough precision the knowledge it wants pupils to know and remember. As a result, some pupils are less well prepared for future learning. The school should ensure that the precise knowledge pupils need to learn is identified and sequenced across all subjects so all pupils know and remember more.
