What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Pupils say this is a vibrant, welcoming environment where they feel both happy and safe. The school's ethos centres on nurturing each child, and this is seen in the pride that pupils take in their school. Older pupils are proud to be ambassadors, librarians, or members of the school council. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe and feel supported by their trusted adults. The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils consistently strive to achieve well and demonstrate confidence in tackling challenging tasks. They learn the school's curriculum well. Behaviour in the school is calm and positive, with clear routines and strategies in place. The school has considered carefully how to support pupils to manage their emotions. Any issues are taken very seriously and are dealt with promptly. This ensures that pupils feel respected and valued. The school helps pupils develop life skills through lessons, workshops, and assemblies on kindness, respect and democracy. To broaden their education, pupils visit places like art galleries, the Houses of Parliament, and go on a camping trip. The school works closely with parents and carers to ensure that pupils benefit from these aspects of school life.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school's approach to the mathematics curriculum does not provide pupils with sufficient practice in applying fundamental knowledge and skills. This reduces how well pupils are supported to deepen and use their understanding, including to tackle and solve mathematical problems in different contexts. The school should strengthen the mathematics curriculum so that it enables pupils to deepen and apply their understanding successfully.
