What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 July 2025

The school's values, including respect and curiosity, run like a golden thread through every aspect of school life. This begins each morning with the kindness value, as the Year 6 'smile spreaders' welcome younger pupils at the school gates. They help others to start the day positively. A thoughtful focus on mental health and well-being helps pupils learn to be kind to others and to themselves. Staff foster warm, respectful relationships with pupils, ensuring they feel supported and valued. As a result, pupils feel safe and cared for. Pupils speak positively about all aspects of school life. They take part in a wide range of enrichment opportunities that help them explore their talents and interests. Clubs are especially popular, including British Sign Language, football and coding. Pupils are proud to represent the school in sporting competitions. They enjoy being part of 'Team Dragon'. The school has high aspirations for all pupils, with a strong commitment to igniting a love of learning. Pupils are enthusiastic about their lessons and behave well. Pupils who need extra help to manage their emotions receive carefully tailored support. Outcomes at the end of key stage 2 are strong. Pupils achieve well across the curriculum.

What the school should improve

  • In a couple of foundation subjects, there are variations in how securely pupils learn the intended curriculum. Pupils do not make connections and recall their learning as well as they could. The school should ensure that its curriculum development work means that pupils remember and connect their learning so that they achieve exceptionally well in all subjects.
