What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 February 2026
Everybody feels welcome at this school. Pupils arrive to a warm welcome every morning and start their learning enthusiastically. Staff carry out daily wellbeing checks, which help them understand pupils well and provide the right support to reduce any barriers to learning or wellbeing. Pupils do not hesitate to share any worries or concerns with staff, who listen to pupils and are expertly trained to help them. As a result, pupils feel well-supported and secure. They develop confidence and thrive both academically and in their personal development. Pupils enjoy a rich variety of opportunities that broaden their experiences and help them develop a sense of community and responsibility. The school values of 'be safe, be kind, be ready for learning' are deeply embedded throughout all of the school's daily routines and policies. Pupils know the values and take pride in living up to them. Pupils and staff treat each other with high levels of respect. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and in outdoor play at social times is consistently calm. The school does not tolerate bullying. In the rare instances when incidents occur, leaders deal with them quickly, and they are not repeated. As a result, pupils feel safe and look forward to the interesting lessons that staff provide for them. Pupils enjoy learning. They benefit from an effective curriculum and engaging teaching. Pupils achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage of education. This particularly applies to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and disadvantaged pupils, who achieve well from their starting points. Pupils' attendance is continuing to improve.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should further refine pedagogical practice so that the curriculum is delivered with even more consistency. • Leaders should continue to work in partnership with external agencies and families so that pupils’ attendance continues to improve over time.
