What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 December 2024

Pupils are blossoming academically and emotionally in this caring, safe and ambitious small school. The values of gratitude, friendship, respect, community and resilience permeate school life from the classroom to the playground. Relationships are nurturing and warm between all. This school has consistently high expectations, and pupils meet them impeccably well. Older pupils are proud role models for others, thriving with roles such as play leaders, worship leaders and school councillors. Achievement is good in mathematics and strong in English. Pupils' reading and writing is particularly impressive by the end of key stage 2. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well as a result of precise support from the knowledgeable and dedicated staff team. The school knows that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge in some foundation subjects. Consequently, efforts are focused on helping pupils to build a more secure understanding of knowledge over time. Pupils learn to embrace diversity and multiculturalism through a well-considered personal development offer. The school ensures that pupils study a range of inspirational people from around the world. Assembly and curriculum activities prepare pupils well for modern Britain. Pupils learn about world beliefs, healthy relationships and how to stay safe.

What the school should improve

  • Some of the recent curriculum changes are not fully embedded. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge in some foundation subjects. The school must implement the wider curriculum effectively in order to ensure that pupils learn and remember key knowledge successfully across the whole curriculum.
  • Some pupils do not attend school highly enough. This means that they miss out on the school's high-quality education and personal development. The school must continue to prioritise its work to ensure maximum attendance for all.
