What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Children in the early years make a confident start to school life. They are inquisitive and active learners who enjoy exploring in the outdoor wooded area.

They know who to turn to for support if they have any worries. Staff listen to pupils and help them to overcome difficulties. Leaders deal swiftly and well with any rare incidents of bullying. Pupils know how leaders and staff expect them to behave. Children in the early years listen attentively to adults' instructions. Older pupils follow the school rules respectfully. This makes the school a calm and orderly place to learn and play. Leaders are aspirational for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard in lessons. They enjoy their learning and are keen to share their knowledge with others, including visitors. Pupils achieve well. Pupils care about others.

What the school should improve

Leaders should ensure that staff have the expertise to deliver newly revised curriculums consistently well and that these curriculums are implemented fully.
