What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 July 2025
Pupils are happy and proud to belong to this welcoming school. The school is inclusive and the heart of the local community. The values of love, hope and courage run through the school. Pupils talk enthusiastically about why these are important and the ways they can demonstrate them. The behaviour of pupils helps them to learn. Pupils know that staff will provide support and help with any worries they may have. From the early years onwards, children are taught how to share, be kind and include everyone in activities. These skills build so that pupils recognise themselves as positive members of the school community. The school's ambition for pupils to achieve well is clear. However, due to historic weaknesses in the curriculum, not all pupils achieve as well as they could. Pupils struggle to understand age-appropriate concepts because they have not mastered the basics in preceding years. Published outcomes for mathematics have been too low for too long. Pupils are eager to take on a range of responsibilities which develop them as leaders. Pupils say these roles help others and make the school a better place. Parents and carers are exceptionally supportive of the school and appreciate the personalised care their children receive.
What the school should improve
- Pupils' achievement in mathematics is not consistently strong over time. They do not build fluency or master foundational skills such as rapid recall of their multiplication facts, and they are not well prepared for the next stage of their learning. The school should ensure that staff implement the mathematics curriculum as intended, focusing on pupils' achievement at all stages of education.
