What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Pupils are proud members of their school. There is a strong sense of community in which pupils care for and look out for one another. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and nurturing. Pupils enjoy school, and this shows in their very high attendance. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils are focused in lessons and have a positive attitude toward their learning. Pupils learn well across the curriculum. Pupils behave well. Starting from the early years, expectations and routines are known and understood. Classrooms are purposeful, and pupils move around the school calmly. They are responsive to instructions and know what is expected of them. At social times, pupils play happily and enjoy their time together, taking part in games such as football and chess. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. The school's focus on developing pupils' character weaves through all aspects of school life. Pupils enjoy being recognised for demonstrating key values that they have been taught through the school's 'reward card'. These values support pupils to become positive citizens of society. Pupils also contribute to the local community through events such as singing in the local care home.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the teaching strategies used do not maximise pupils' learning. This means that, on occasions, pupils do not have enough opportunities to practise their learning or do not benefit from clear explanations of what is being taught. The school should further develop teaching strategies to support pupils' learning.
- At times, the way pupils' understanding is checked does not provide a clear view of which pupils have understood the concept being taught. As a result, pupils' errors in understanding or misconceptions are not picked up and addressed. This hinders pupils from developing a deep understanding of subject content. The school should ensure teaching checks pupils' understanding more precisely so that errors and misconceptions can be identified and addressed.
