What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
The school holds high ambition for pupils. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). A significant number of pupils join the school part way through their primary education. Some pupils are at the early stages of learning to speak English as an additional language. At whatever point a pupil becomes part of this welcoming school, there is a drive for them to succeed. Pupils achieve well as a result of this. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour, with respect being one of the core values. Pupils strive to model this in their behaviour. They are well mannered, courteous and considerate. Pupils express the importance of treating others in a way that they would like to be treated themselves. This helps pupils to feel happy at school. Pupils have opportunities to develop their talents and interests through the range of experiences available to them. These include clubs such as gardening, art and football. Pupils also enjoy caring for the school guinea pigs, which helps them to develop their understanding of responsibility and care. The school ensures that many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, benefit from being part of these wider experiences.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not teach parts of the essential knowledge set out in the curriculum in sufficient depth. As a result, some pupils' knowledge is insecure. The school should make certain that teachers deliver the curriculum as intended, so that pupils are well prepared for the next stage of education.
- Some pupils do not attend school often enough. This limits how well they learn. The school should establish effective systems that ensure pupils attend school regularly.
