What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils thrive at this caring, nurturing school. The school motto: 'DREAM BIG', reflects the school's values: Belonging, Responsibility and Ambition. Pupils believe they can achieve well academically and socially and they do. All adults are highly ambitious for all pupils from the moment they join the school, whether this is in Nursery and Reception or further up the school. The school knows its families and pupils extremely well. It acknowledges some of the difficulties they may face. The school sensitively and effectively provides pupils and their families with the support they need. Parents and carers value this. Pupils enjoy school and want to be here. They are safe and happy. They trust the adults who greet them enthusiastically each morning. Behaviour in lessons and at other times of the day is strong. The school gives appropriate, effective support to any pupil who might find managing their behaviour more difficult. Pupils enjoy playtimes. The school council have played an active part in making changes to playtimes, which they know have made a difference. Pupils enjoy the activities, including the reading hub, they can now use at these social times.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school's review of its curriculum, and the impact it is having on pupils' learning, is at an early stage. This means that the school cannot yet be sure that pupils are learning the intended curriculum. The school should put in place appropriate measures to establish if pupils are learning what is intended and achieving as well as they could across all foundation subjects.
