What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 July 2025
Pupils arrive at school highly motivated to learn. They enjoy attending and are warmly welcomed by staff, who are pleased to see them. Pupils are happy and safe here. Staff have high expectations, expecting the very best from all pupils. Pupils show enthusiasm and enjoyment when learning. They achieve highly. In the early years, children grow in confidence and develop their language skills soon after joining. Pupils have a secure understanding of what makes healthy relationships and friendships. Staff build positive working relationships with pupils across the school. This helps them both motivate pupils and tailor their learning. In lessons and around the school, pupils' behaviour is positive. Pupils gain leadership experience by taking on roles and responsibilities in their classrooms and around the school. These range from being a member of the school council, to online safety and environmental warriors. Through these roles, pupils make a positive contribution to the school. Pupils benefit from some educational visits. Pupils across school enjoy clubs organised by the school, such as basketball, art club and debating club. Activities such as environmental cleanups, fundraising events and awareness days help pupils to understand their role in society.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not ambitious enough. In these subjects, the school's curricular thinking does not provide opportunities for pupils to review, revisit and deepen their understanding. As a result, pupils do not build up a broad body of knowledge in each subject. The school must ensure that the curriculum for every subject is ambitious and is given enough time to be taught systematically across the year in order to enable pupils to develop a deepen their knowledge and understanding over time.
- Some activities in lessons are not well suited to support pupils' understanding of important subject content. This limits pupils' learning of important subject-specific knowledge and skills. The school must ensure that teaching focuses on important subject content, so that pupils learn and remember more over time.
