What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
The school has high expectations of all its pupils, both academically and in terms of behaviour. Pupils respond to these well, and as a result achieve well. The curriculum is well structured and ambitious. Pupils follow the school's well-established routines assiduously. They focus and concentrate in lessons and join in enthusiastically in singing assemblies. Playtimes are particularly pleasurable, with pupils enjoying games, chatting or building with construction bricks. This is a lovely place to work and learn. Pupils explain that it is happy because joy is one of their school values. Parents and carers are equally effusive. They love how the school is at the centre of the community. There is a strong focus on promoting pupils' emotional and mental well-being. Pupils say bullying is rare and that adults would sort it out, were it to happen. Pupil well-being ambassadors also help to sort out problems and create a convivial atmosphere. The school capitalises on taking full advantage of giving pupils wide-ranging experiences. Pupils enjoy many trips to places of interest that link to their learning. The school utilises the generous amount of outdoor space available to it skilfully. Pupils love growing their own produce, which they harvest and eat. This really supports their understanding of nutrition and sustainability.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the school does not identify accurately pupils' understanding and whether they have gaps in their knowledge. This means that gaps in pupils' understanding are not addressed as quickly as they could be. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' understanding are timely and effective so that pupils are fully ready for new learning.
