What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this friendly school. They grow in confidence, value their learning and achieve well in most subjects. Pupils work hard in their lessons and enjoy the superb breaktime activities. They are supportive and considerate of each other. Those who are new to the school receive a warm welcome and make friends. The youngest children make a positive start to their education in the Nursery Year. They are quick to learn routines. The excellent outdoor area helps them to develop independence and resilience. Older pupils are keen to take on responsibilities. The 'eco army' and pupil leaders make a positive difference in school and in the local area. Leaders are determined that all pupils should thrive. Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is very effective. These pupils play a full part in all aspects of school life and achieve strong outcomes. Behaviour in lessons and outside the classroom is exemplary. Pupils strive to meet leaders' high expectations. They feel safe at school. Pupils are very knowledgeable about risks to their safety when online. They know when and how to seek help if they feel worried or upset.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, activities in lessons do not always support pupils to learn the skills and knowledge that they need. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they do in subjects such as music and mathematics. Leaders should review the teaching of these subjects so that pupils can build key subject knowledge over time.
