What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

This is an active, happy school. Pupils are cooperative and considerate. They share equipment fairly and safely following recent changes to the use of outdoor space. If disagreements occur, the school sorts them out quickly and effectively. Pupils are safe, and they feel safe. Pupils take pride in helping and supporting each other. Year 6 pupil leaders readily act as role models for those younger. Older pupils help those new to the school learn routines and settle in quickly. Pupils are happy here. The school wants pupils to embrace life beyond the school. It supports pupils' character development and teamwork effectively. For example, it provides a range of wider opportunities for pupils to perform and compete in events with other schools. These include performing in national choir events and taking part in sports tournaments. The school ensures that pupils have equal access to these experiences. The school has high ambitions for pupils' achievement. Typically, pupils achieve well in most subjects.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes the learning activities and support to address gaps in pupils' knowledge are not precisely focused. As a result, misconceptions are not corrected as quickly as they could be. The school should ensure learning activities and support are targeted and precisely focused to address knowledge gaps.
