What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils are proud and happy to be a part of this nurturing school. They embrace the school values and high expectations. They behave impeccably and are rewarded through many initiatives. Pupils value recognition for their efforts. The school has high ambition for its pupils and most pupils achieve well. However, some pupils do not attain as well as they could in Key Stage 2 external assessments, in particular pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged. The school prides itself on the excellent relationships between pupils and staff. Staff know their pupils well and pupils know who to talk to if they have any concerns. 'The hub' is an accessible space for any pupil who requires nurture. They are able to use this for short bursts throughout the day where they are given the encouragement they require. This helps pupils develop independence and resilience. One pupil summed up the views of many about this provision beautifully when they said, 'The staff are always there for us.' Clubs and visits play a large part of school life. The school responds actively to pupils wishes, for example introducing new clubs, such as 'fossil club', which is a favourite among many. The school enhances pupils' classroom experiences with trips to the castle, theatre and residential stays. School prefects support the well-being of their peers and have helped to improve facilities across the school. All of this helps pupils to foster an active role in the school community.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes the activities that teachers ask pupils to do are not built precisely on what pupils already know and can do. This means pupils do not retain new knowledge well enough over time, particularly in mathematics. The school should ensure staff provide precise activities that build on pupils' prior knowledge consistently, so that pupils, including those with SEND, and who are disadvantaged, achieve even better.
