What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and welcoming school. They appreciate how adults check in with them daily to ensure they are happy and ready to learn. Pupils feel safe and are confident any worries are resolved quickly. Many parents and carers praise the school and all it does to support their children. They comment typically on how staff create an atmosphere of 'positivity and kindness'. The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils are keen to learn, and many achieve well. In most subjects, the school makes checks to find out what pupils know and can do. This supports pupils to build on previous learning. Pupils learn the behaviours expected of them quickly. These high expectations start in the early years where staff teach children to be 'ready, respectful, safe'. There is a calm and purposeful environment for pupils to learn. Staff respond calmly and sensitively when pupils struggle with their emotions. This enables pupils to get back to their learning quickly. Pupils behave well during lessons and social times. Pupils take pleasure in the rich opportunities on offer, such as chamber choir, outdoor education and learning to play a musical instrument. These activities develop pupils' interests and talents.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum for writing is less well developed than in other subjects. Some pupils do not secure the fundamentals of spelling, punctuation and presentation that they need to be ready for later work. The school should ensure that the writing curriculum is securely in place so that pupils achieve the best possible outcomes in writing, including the presentation of their work.
- In some subjects, the school has not yet established systems to check how well pupils remember the knowledge they have been taught. As a result, pupils' recall of some prior learning can be patchy. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively in order to check what pupils know and remember across all subjects.
