What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 May 2024

This school is central to the local community that it serves. Pupils, including children in the early years, are happy and enjoy coming to school. Those who are new to the school settle quickly and make friends. This is because they receive strong care and support from staff. Pupils trust the adults that work with them. They know that they always have someone to talk to if they are worried or upset. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn a broad and ambitious curriculum. Their learning is enriched with a wide range of opportunities to engage and interest them, such as outdoor learning and school trips. From varied starting points, pupils achieve well. Pupils understand and appreciate the school's clear behaviour strategies. They respond well to these. For example, children in the early years learn how to share and take turns. Older pupils are taught how to reflect upon, manage and improve their own behaviour. They also learn about the rights and feelings of others. This creates a positive school environment where pupils work and play well together. Beyond the school curriculum, pupils access a range of activities that benefit their personal development. For example, all pupils have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. The school also offers cooking classes for pupils and their families to take part in together, so that they can learn about healthy eating.

What the school should improve

  • In a minority of subjects, teachers are not clear enough about the key knowledge and concepts that pupils need to know. Consequently, some pupils do not develop sufficient depth of subject-specific knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that teachers understand the essential knowledge and concepts that pupils should know and remember in all curriculum areas.
