What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 April 2025
Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive school. They form strong friendships across the different multicultural communities that the school serves. They show respect for each other's beliefs, reflecting the school's core value that, 'Together we can.' Staff ensure that pupils feel safe and are ready to succeed. Warm relationships create a supportive environment where pupils thrive. Pupils show care and kindness towards each other. When necessary, the 'how was your day' check-in helps pupils to reflect and adjust their behaviour. The school has high aspirations for all. The many pupils who speak English as an additional language or who are new to the country receive effective help to engage with learning. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive strong support. Pupils achieve well in many subjects and in national assessments. However, for children in the early years, these high expectations are not implemented or realised fully. Beyond the classroom, pupils benefit from a wide offer, such as trips to local landmarks. They participate in clubs and perform at concerts to broaden their understanding of the world. In readiness for secondary school, Year 6 pupils and their families attend workshops considering peer pressure, mindfulness, motivation and mental health.
What the school should improve
- There are some slight variations in how effectively the curriculum is implemented. Occasionally, some activities do not help pupils to gain mastery of the English language and its grammatical structures. At other times, misconceptions in pupils' learning are not resolved. When these instances occur, learning slows. The school must ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well so that pupils' outcomes continue to improve.
- Children in the early years do not have sufficient opportunities to rehearse and embed key knowledge and routines during independent learning. This impacts their ability to prepare effectively for statutory schooling. The school must ensure that all early years staff develop the expertise needed to deliver the intended curriculum successfully.
