What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 June 2024

Pupils flourish at this happy primary school. Pupils want to 'aim high'. They work together collaboratively in all that they do. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Pupils know that if they have a worry they can speak to a trusted adult who will help them. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils' behaviour is excellent across the school both in lessons and around the building. Pupils' conduct in corridors is orderly and calm because routines such as 'fantastic walking' are firmly established. Pupils are motivated and achieve well. This is because staff have high expectations for them. Older pupils are role models for younger pupils. For example, sports mentors are responsible for looking after the playground equipment and anti-bullying ambassadors support their classmates to create a kind environment for all. Pupils access a range of enrichment experiences. They have the opportunity to 'sleep under the stars' in a tent on the school field while other pupils learn how to construct a den and make a fire. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs on offer such as, roller skating, multi-skills and choir. These opportunities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes the learning of pupils with SEND is not checked sharply enough. This means that some pupils have gaps in their learning and do not learn as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that the learning of pupils with SEND is checked precisely so that these pupils develop detailed skills, knowledge and understanding.
