What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils enjoy learning within the school's positive, 'can-do' ethos. They routinely show the school's expectation that they are focused fully in lessons and 'SHINE'. Starting in the early years, children understand that learning is important. They delight in exploring the engaging activities the school provides. In lessons, pupils concentrate on their studies. They support each other well and show determination when studying something tricky. Pupils celebrate each other's achievements. They learn the school's curriculum well. They reach the school's high expectations of their achievements. Pupils are prepared well for secondary education. Pupils show kindness and care for others. They are polite and use good manners in their interactions. During lunch, pupils dine together pleasantly and tidy up after themselves. On the playground, older pupils model the school's values to younger pupils and demonstrate positive play. Pupils treat each other with respect. When friends fall out, pupils can positively resolve issues themselves. By the end of Year 6, pupils are well equipped for life after primary school. They know how to stay safe at home, in the community and online. They also understand the importance of serving their community. Pupils willingly take up responsibilities at school. For example, they perform leadership roles capably such as school councillor and house captain.

What the school should improve

  • Occasionally, staff do not adapt learning activities well enough to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. When this happens, these pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure staff have the guidance that they need to support pupils with SEND to learn well.
