What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 July 2025

This is a school where pupils truly 'learn, grow and thrive'. Pupils say that staff know them well. They feel safe and know that if they are worried about anything, there is a member of staff who will listen to them. Most pupils agree that 'this is a kind school, where everyone is welcome'. Warm and positive relationships with staff are seen in abundance. The school has high expectations for pupils' education and provides them with a well-constructed curriculum. Although key stage 2 published outcomes in 2024 were not as strong as those achieved by pupils nationally, current pupils are progressing through the curriculum successfully. Pupils focus well and behave sensibly in lessons. They are proud of their work and of their achievements. Pupils respect people from different cultures and backgrounds. They are tolerant of each other and value differing beliefs and opinions, especially when debating. Opportunities to explore themes such as 'sustainable lifestyles' are built into the curriculum, preparing pupils to be citizens of the world. The school provides many enriching and exciting experiences, which enhance pupils' learning. Pupils benefit from after-school clubs, such as musical theatre, cooking and sports. They also enjoy going to see the many performances at local secondary schools.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, teachers do not check carefully enough what pupils are learning and do not address key gaps well enough. Where this happens, pupils do not secure the important ideas as well as they could. The school should continue to develop its approaches to assessment to ensure all staff are equipped to help pupils learn and achieve well across the curriculum.
