What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

This is a deeply caring school where staff get to know pupils very well. The school ensures that pupils receive the right support that they need to flourish. Reflecting the views of other parents and carers, one parent commented, 'The school invests in a child's future and believes that children can achieve their goals, no matter what their life circumstances.' The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly. In the early years, children are exceptionally well supported to develop a wide range of vocabulary. In Nursery, children become confident talkers. For example, they learn to retell their favourite stories. Children achieve extremely well in the early years. Older pupils remember important knowledge well. They achieve particularly well in mathematics, where pupils develop important knowledge to solve increasingly complex problems. Pupils' well-being is at the heart of everything that the school does. Highly effective support for pupils helps them to overcome difficulties that may interfere with their learning. Pupils know that there is always an adult that they can talk to if they are worried. Pupils are proud to be part of this school. They make the most of the extensive opportunities on offer. For example, on a recent visit to the Houses of Parliament, pupils learned first hand about the importance of democracy.

What the school should improve

  • The school's new approach to teaching handwriting is not fully embedded. Some pupils are not effectively supported to develop accurate handwriting. Inaccurate letter formation and an inconsistent writing style hinders pupils' fluency. The school should ensure that the new approach to teaching handwriting is implemented consistently well in all lessons so that problems with letter formation do not hinder pupils' learning and writing composition.
