What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils thrive in this inclusive and welcoming school. They love coming to school, excited by the learning that each day brings. They feel safe, knowing that they are well cared for. Pupils know that they can trust adults to help them if they have any concerns. The school sets high expectations for how pupils should behave. These are understood and followed by everyone. Pupils are articulate, confident and kind. They treat one another with respect and show genuine care for those around them. In lessons and around the school, pupils' behaviour is calm and orderly. Staff apply the behaviour policy fairly and consistently. As a result, pupils behave very well and can focus on their learning. The school's vision, 'to inspire excellence in all', is reflected in the way that pupils approach their learning with determination and pride. Pupils are encouraged to aim high. They respond by working hard in lessons. Pupils show positive attitudes towards their education. They take care over their work, listen carefully to their teachers and are keen to improve. As a result, pupils achieve well across a broad and ambitious curriculum. They do particularly well in writing, where standards at the end of Year 6 are higher than those found nationally.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching does not address pupils' misconceptions well enough. When this happens, some misconceptions are not remedied and consequently persist. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively across the curriculum to check and deepen pupils' understanding and to inform future learning.
