What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Pupils enjoy being part of this warm and inclusive school community. From the early years onwards, children get off to a strong start. In Reception, they settle quickly into well- established routines and enjoy a rich and engaging environment. Staff focus on developing children's confidence, communication and curiosity, helping them to build excellent foundations for learning. Pupils benefit from the school's focus on character education and teamwork. They take part in a range of enriching activities, including sailing in the nearby docks. These opportunities help pupils to develop resilience, collaboration and a sense of independence. Pupils talk enthusiastically about educational trips, their leadership roles and the ways that they contribute to the school community. Behaviour is calm and courteous throughout the school. Pupils are polite to adults and to each other. They listen carefully in lessons and respond well to the school's high expectations. Most pupils attend regularly and take real pride in their achievements. The school uses its attendance systems intelligently to target support for specific pupils whose attendance needs to improve. Pupils say they feel safe in school. They trust adults to help them and know how to keep themselves safe, both online and in the wider world.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects beyond English and mathematics, support for pupils with SEND is not consistently well matched to their needs. As a result, some pupils struggle to access learning and do not achieve as well as they could. The school, supported by the trust, should improve the quality of support for pupils with SEND to promote their achievement across the whole curriculum.
