What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 May 2025

The school has a clear vision centred on helping its pupils to 'learn together for the future'. It has high expectations for all pupils and staff. Children from the Nursery receive a strong start in building their foundations in learning, communication and social skills. In Reception, children build on these skills, increasing their ability to read, write, and learn mathematics well. Pupils benefit from a revised curriculum, which has raised aspirations for what pupils should know and be able to do. Teachers ensure that the curriculum is implemented well. Pupils build their knowledge securely across the curriculum and use what they know with increasing fluency. Consequently, pupils achieve well. Pupils feel safe and are happy. They generally attend well. The school's expectations of routines and behaviours are clear and reinforced from the early years onwards. This means that, overall, pupils behave well. They show positive attitudes and commitment to their learning. The school places a strong emphasis on personal development, fostering confidence, respect and resilience in its pupils. They enjoy participating in various clubs, including dance, knitting, cookery, yoga and table tennis clubs. Pupils also take pride in representing the school, in roles such as school council members, play leaders and eco representatives.

What the school should improve

  • Some teaching does not address misconceptions in pupils' learning effectively. Consequently, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge which persist. When this happens, it hinders how well they learn overall. The school should ensure that teaching identifies and rectifies pupils' misconceptions.
  • The school's new approaches to behaviour management are not consistently implemented. Consequently, there are occasions where some pupils do not meet the school's high expectations. The school should ensure its behaviour management approaches are consistently followed and applied, and that, when needed, pupils receive the necessary guidance and support to improve their behaviour.
