What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
The school puts pupils and their families at the heart of everything it does. It is a haven for the community to go to for advice and support. The school's values are understood well. Pupils and staff are inspired to, 'do what matters most, be yourself always, show you care and succeed together'. These values shine through the broad and ambitious curriculum and nurturing ethos. They are at the heart of the school's successful and rapid improvement. The enthusiasm and dedication of the whole school community to make the school the best it can be is palpable. From the early years, pupils benefit from an environment rich with learning opportunities. The school is a calm, welcoming place, where relationships are warm and respectful. There are high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Staff deal with any incidents of poor behaviour consistently and effectively. Pupils concentrate in lessons, feel safe and behave well. They know staff will help them with any difficulties or worries that they may have. The school provides various enrichment clubs and opportunities. These enhance the curriculum, support pupils' personal development and extend their knowledge of the wider world. Pupils relish trips linked to the curriculum and the residential outdoor education experiences.
What the school should improve
- At times, pupils who need more help to develop their handwriting skills do not receive effective support to help them to catch up quickly. This means that some pupils do not learn to write as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that pupils who need specific extra help to develop their handwriting skills are supported effectively.
- Too many pupils are persistently absent from school. They miss essential learning and experiences, which disadvantage them educationally and socially. The school should intensify their efforts and work with parents to remove barriers to pupils' attendance.
