What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 May 2025

Pupils are happy and enjoy learning at this welcoming, friendly school. They understand the importance of treating everyone with respect. Staff know pupils well. The school has high ambition for pupils to achieve their potential. As a result, pupils are well prepared for their next stage. Relationships in the school are positive and caring. This starts in early years where children learn to play well with one another, taking turns and showing consideration for others. Pupils enjoy taking part in singing and learning to play a range of musical instruments, performing in assemblies and concerts. A programme of visits brings the curriculum to life. These help build pupils' character and resilience. Pupils enjoy the range of clubs on offer at lunchtime and after school. Most pupils behave well in class and around the school. This has a positive effect on their learning. At breaktimes and lunchtimes, they enjoy the range of activities available to them. Bullying is rare and quickly resolved if it happens. Pupils are confident to talk to staff about any concerns that they may have. The school provides a nurturing and caring environment in which pupils are safe and happy.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, pupils' mistakes and misconceptions are not identified and addressed. As a result, some pupils remain unaware when they have misunderstood aspects of what they are learning. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise to tackle misconceptions so that gaps in knowledge are addressed consistently.
