What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Pupils attend a school that has been transformed. Since joining the trust, and in response to the challenges faced by the predecessor school, leaders at all levels have demonstrated unwavering commitment to raising aspirations for pupils. As a result, pupils flourish at this school. They behave well and they are keen to learn. Pupils speak highly of their school. They say it is a school where 'everyone cares for everyone'. The motto 'dream, believe, achieve' is fully understood and realised. Pupils know that there are no limits to what they can do and that they will get support from adults if they need it. Warm relationships across the school help pupils to feel safe and well looked after. Year 6 pupils are proud to be a buddy to children in the early years to help them to settle into school life quickly. The school promotes pupils' wider development well. The recent 'Victory in Europe Day' street party enabled the school to come together to remember a significant historical event. Pupils make a difference to their school and community through their leadership roles. For example, pupils are reducing energy use in the school to raise money for play equipment.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects where the curriculum is in its earlier stages of development, staff are less clear about the important knowledge pupils need to secure. As a result, pupils have gaps in their knowledge, and this makes it harder for them to make connections in their learning. The trust should strengthen staff subject knowledge so that gaps are identified and addressed with future learning that builds on what pupils already know to help them to learn the curriculum securely.
- The school does not ensure that pupils' writing is of a consistently high standard across the curriculum. This is because staff do not address errors in writing, particularly in spelling, grammar and punctuation. The trust should ensure that staff identify and support pupils' errors as they occur in their writing to enable them to write fluently across subjects.
