What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

This is a small, truly inclusive school. Pupils and parents say it is 'like a family'. They appreciate the close relationships, and the care and support needed to thrive. Pupils are happy and safe here. This is because there are always staff for pupils to speak with if they have a problem. The environment is calm and conducive to learning. Pupils work hard in lessons and enjoy their playtimes together, in the beautiful and extensive grounds. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. It supports all pupils to learn and remember more over time. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. This is reflected in their achievements, including in outcomes for reading, writing and mathematics. A range of clubs and after-school provision is available, including sports, gymnastics, dance and wraparound care. A range of experiences also enriches learning for pupils. For example, a visiting theatre production provided information to older pupils about how to keep safe, by being accompanied and letting people know their whereabouts.

What the school should improve

  • The recently adapted approach to using assessment to check pupils' understanding in subjects other than English and mathematics is not fully embedded. As a result, misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge are sometimes missed. This makes it more difficult for these pupils to make links in their learning and secure new ideas based on what they already know. The school should ensure these new assessment procedures enable pupils to secure key knowledge and deepen their understanding.
