What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
This is a school that cares deeply. Staff care for pupils, and pupils care for each other. Staff place warm and positive relationships with pupils at the heart of all they do. This helps children settle quickly when they start in Reception. These relationships continue as pupils move through different year groups, helping pupils feel safe in school. They know that adults want the best for them. Pupils behave beautifully. They engage well in lessons and show a keen interest in learning. They also behave well at other points of the day. The school has high expectations for all pupils and is committed to helping every one of them to reach their full potential. Pupils' positive behaviour and dedication to working as hard as they can contribute to them achieving these aims. Pupils regularly demonstrate the well-embedded values that expect them to inquire, discover, encourage, achieve, love and shine. The school wants pupils to be confident and articulate, and they are. Older pupils enjoy leading assemblies for the younger pupils. They do this with an impressive level of confidence. Pupils understand that some people face difficulties. They are aware of these and feel a responsibility to help people if they can. They embody the school's vision of 'Everything we do, we do with love'.
What the school should improve
- The school does not identify the specific gaps in learning some pupils have in phonics closely enough. This means the support they receive to enable them to catch up is not as effective as it could be. The school should ensure that individual gaps in pupils' learning are identified with greater precision so that those at risk of falling behind catch up quickly.
- Some pupils' behaviour is not managed as effectively in lessons as it could be. This leads to valuable teaching and learning time being lost. The school should ensure that staff adapt teaching effectively so that all pupils remain engaged with their learning.
