What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Staff welcome pupils with a smile every day. They are well-cared for by staff who know them very well, and they like to look after each other too. Pupils are part of a community where everyone wants them to be successful. The school is ambitious for every pupil. Pupils achieve well. This prepares them well for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy celebrating their achievements with their friends and teachers. Pupils enjoy their learning because exciting opportunities await them every day. This means they have positive attitudes to their learning. They share their opinions, ask questions about what they are learning and feel valued. Pupils follow school rules and show that good behaviour makes their school a better place. There are many activities planned for children to celebrate their talents. This includes participating in musical activities, performing arts clubs, sports competitions and robotics. They benefit from exciting events such as a whole-school visit to Chester Zoo. Pupils recognise their importance in the wider world by raising money for a local hospice. Peer mentors, prefects and team captains carry out their roles in school with pride. Older pupils support younger children by listening to them read.
What the school should improve
- In the early years, some staff do not consistently provide children with activities that match their needs or the intended curriculum. As a result, some children do not develop their learning across the curriculum as well as they should. The school should ensure that children in the early years are provided with activities that closely match children's stage of learning and the intended curriculum.
- At times, some teachers do not identify when pupils are ready to learn more complex content. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could, and they find the work too easy. The school should ensure that teachers are well equipped to spot when to extend pupils' learning so they achieve their full potential.
