What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

The school's values of 'happiness, esteem, achievement, respect, responsibility, truth, service and spirituality' are evident from Nursery to Year 6. Pupils enjoy coming to school and learning. There are warm relationships between staff and pupils. Older pupils are positive role models for younger children. Pupils behave extremely well. Pupils feel safe at school and know who their trusted adults are. They trust that staff will listen to any worries they have. Pupils understand what bullying is and how to report any concerns. The school has high expectations of pupils. Pupils respond well to these and achieve well. In the early years, children form good habits for learning together. Pupils of all ages have positive attitudes to learning and follow routines well. As a result, the school has a calm and orderly atmosphere. Pupils are proud of their school. They enjoy carrying out special roles such as prefects and eco-warriors. The school provides a wide range of educational experiences to bring learning to life, including visits to theatres and historical sites. Pupils talk about such events with excitement and enthusiasm. There are many clubs on offer, including multi- sports, choir and dodgeball.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the work given to pupils does not always support them to remember the essential knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the activities chosen for pupils support them to remember more across the curriculum.
