What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 March 2025

Pupils thrive at this wonderful school. A strong sense of belonging spreads through the whole school community. Pupils and their families are at the heart of the school's work. Staff know every pupil individually. Strong, warm relationships ensure that pupils feel nurtured and cared for. The school is a happy and safe place to attend. The school has high expectations of all pupils. In turn, pupils achieve well and are prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. In classrooms and throughout the school, they behave sensibly. Pupils' respect for others and for their school underpins their very positive attitudes to their school and their education. They exhibit excellent manners. They welcome visitors politely, with smiles on their faces. The school has a deeply held ambition that pupils will enjoy a wide range of experiences that spark their interests and provide them with aspirations and lifelong memories. They do this through an extensive range of extra-curricular clubs and also through memorable curriculum enhancements. Throughout their time at school, pupils have multiple experiences that include visits to the seaside, a university and a theatre, to name just a few. As part of a history topic, pupils take a tour of the city in an open-top bus, identifying significant historical sites.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils form letters incorrectly, and this is not consistently identified and addressed. This means that pupils do not develop fluency in writing as quickly as they could. The school should carry out further work to improve pupils' emergent writing and letter formation.
