What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils are happy to belong to this inclusive school. They are greeted each morning by caring and nurturing staff. Pupils start the day well and quickly focus on their lessons. Many pupils say how proud the staff are of them. Pupils know they will be listened to if they have any concerns. The school has high expectations of what pupils are capable of. Starting in the early years, the school aims for every child to reach their potential. Children learn how to count, read, write and socialise. As they get older, pupils become increasingly independent. They work hard in their lessons and achieve well. Pupils enjoy showing off their projects. The school is warm and welcoming. Pupils behave well. There are peaceful routines in every year group. Pupils are polite around corridors and stairways. They take time to greet visitors and hold doors open for one another. Pupils take their leadership roles, including as 'rota kids' and school councillors, seriously. They are proud of the extensive charity work they lead. Pupils are passionate about serving their local community and helping people in need. This prepares them well to be good citizens.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the curriculum is not delivered as well as the school intends. On occasions, teachers do not select activities that match pupils' needs or help them learn the curriculum content. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum is delivered consistently well so that all pupils can learn successfully.
- At times, teaching does not identify well enough pupils' gaps and misconceptions. Occasionally, pupils move on to new learning without gaps and misconceptions in their knowledge being addressed. The school should ensure that teaching identifies and addresses pupils' misconceptions and gaps routinely well so that pupils learn the curriculum with greater success.
