What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 November 2025
Pupils enjoy their learning and typically achieve well at this small school. They develop their knowledge and skills across the curriculum and become confident readers over time. Pupils who face barriers to their learning, such as pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are supported effectively to make progress through the curriculum. Pupils are generally prepared well for their next steps. Pupils have warm relationships with staff, who treat them with care and respect. Staff are deeply mindful of pupils' well-being. They anticipate and remove any barriers to pupils' participation in school life. This helps everyone to feel included. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils live up to these. They know and follow the school's 'high five' for behaviour, which includes being ready and respectful. Pupils are safe and bullying is rare. They attend school regularly and are comfortable talking to adults about any worries they might have. The school's extensive range of opportunities prepares pupils strongly for the future. Pupils relish the musical and artistic opportunities in the curriculum and personal development programme. Pupils sing, dance and perform poetry enthusiastically. Performing together builds pupils' personal confidence and sense of belonging. Pupils are proud, for example, to share their 'enrichment books', which capture their personal development throughout their years at the school. Pupils can talk in depth about how they contribute to the school community and live out the school's values locally and internationally.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should strengthen the teaching of writing, so that pupils consistently develop their written language and vocabulary across all subjects.
- Leaders should ensure that staff maximise the opportunities for high-quality interactions with children in the early years, so that children develop their language and their vocabulary as strongly as possible.
