What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
This school is at the heart of its community. Staff know the pupils and their families well. It is a very happy, friendly and safe place in which to learn. Pupils enjoy attending school, and there is a strong sense of belonging. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly happy with the schooling their children receive. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils live up to these. They enjoy the subjects they study and the opportunities that the school provides. In lessons, pupils work hard, achieve well and reach the school's high expectations. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils with more complex SEND are expertly considered to enable them to thrive. In lessons and around school, pupils behave well. They greet each other and their teachers warmly. Movement around the school is very orderly. Pupils are polite and respectful towards each other, school staff and visitors. Pupils experience many opportunities to develop their understanding of the world around them. A range of educational trips, visitors to school, clubs and events helps to bring learning to life and expand pupils' cultural experiences. Pupils learn about keeping safe, including road safety and when they are online.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects in the wider curriculum, the school has not identified the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary it wants pupils to learn at each stage. As a result, pupils do not learn and remember important information as well as they could in these subjects. The school needs to identify the most important knowledge that all pupils need to know and remember in each subject and put these into a logical sequence to meet the curriculum's ambitious endpoints.
