What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

The school is at the heart of the local community. It provides pupils and their families with exceptional pastoral care and support. It values pupils for who they are, develops pupils' character and instils in pupils' a respect for all. This is a truly welcoming school that celebrates pupils' achievements. The school has high aspirations for its pupils. It works with determination and intelligence to remove any barriers to pupils' success. Pupils achieve well. They work hard in lessons and show an interest in their learning. The school prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave well. The school has established a clear set of routines that pupils follow. This helps to create a calm and orderly environment. Moreover, pupils are polite, friendly and inquisitive. They are kind to each other and support each other's well-being. Pupils enjoy school life. They take great pride in their roles as subject ambassadors, librarians and as school council representatives. Pupils take part in a range of clubs and activities that develop their talents and interests, including sports and the arts. They also enjoy visits to places of cultural interest that enrich their learning and strengthen their sense of community.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes in the early years and key stage 1, staff do not adapt teaching with sufficient precision to support pupils' language development. This means that some pupils do not develop and secure their foundational reading and language skills as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that it provides teachers and other adults with training in relevant pedagogy and pedagogical content knowledge so that they can adapt teaching effectively for pupils who are at the earliest stages of reading and language development.
  • Levels of persistent absence are high, particularly for disadvantaged pupils. This means that several pupils are missing too much of their education. These pupils do not experience the continuity of learning that will enable them to reach their potential and achieve well. The school should ensure that it sustains and develops further its rigorous approach to improving attendance so that levels of persistent absence continue to fall.
