What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 April 2025

This is a warm and nurturing place for pupils to learn and grow. Pupils and staff glow with pride when describing their school. Pupils are unfailingly polite and respectful towards adults. They model tolerance and understanding. Excellent relationships with teachers ensure that pupils feel safe. The school has high ambition for pupils' achievement. Pupils study a curriculum that interests and challenges them. They learn with determination and successfully build knowledge over time. Pupils are focused in lessons and produce work of a high standard. The environment across the whole school supports effective learning. In the early years, pupils experience exciting days of thoughtfully designed learning and discovery. They benefit from well-established routines and staff who focus on language development and have high expectations in all areas of learning. Pupils are thoughtful and kind towards each other. Their behaviour in lessons and around school is exemplary. There is a calm sense of purpose. Pupils talk with enthusiasm about their many leadership opportunities and contribution to the life of the school and the wider community. They enjoy many opportunities to play games and attend clubs. Pupils are clear that they are all equal, and that difference is valued at this school.

What the school should improve

  • The aspects of mathematics taught through the wider curriculum are not as clearly designed as aspects taught through the discrete mathematics lessons. As a result, staff do not check pupils' understanding as effectively as they could. Pupils' recall of their learning in these areas is not as secure as it is in discrete lessons. The school should refine curriculum thinking for aspects of mathematics taught through the wider curriculum and ensure pupils know and remember more essential knowledge over time.
  • At times, the adaptations and provision for some pupils with SEND do not match the targets set out in individual plans. This means learning for these pupils slows down. The school should ensure that precise targets, taken from accurate assessment, are consistently implemented in lessons so outcomes for pupils with SEND are as strong as they can be.
