What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive and welcoming school. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well across the curriculum. They get a particularly strong start in Reception. Pupils become curious, focused learners as soon as they start school. Warm, mutually respectful relationships permeate the school. Pupils value the high expectations that staff have for how they will behave and learn. They typically meet these expectations successfully. This makes the school a calm and purposeful place. Social times are harmonious. Pupils take care of each other and their environment. Play leaders support younger pupils to use the equipment provided and socialise in a positive way. Pupils enjoy a wealth of experiences beyond the academic curriculum. They participate in a wide range of clubs covering sports, art and music. Pupils relish the opportunities to become junior leaders and school councillors and to represent the school in competitions. The aspirations of pupils rise through joining the 'Brilliant Club' and 'graduating' at Cambridge University. These roles give pupils confidence and recognition. Pupils benefit greatly from this provision. Every pupil is a valued part of the school community.
What the school should improve
- Beyond early years, the school has not sufficiently prioritised pupils' letter formation and transcription skills. This means some pupils are not able to communicate their learning through writing in an age-appropriate way. The school should continue to consider its approach to developing writing skills so pupils learn to write with fluency, automaticity and accuracy across the curriculum.
