What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 December 2025
Pupils are happy and proud to belong to this welcoming community. Staff know pupils very well and forge positive, trusting relationships with them. The school's values of 'respect, honesty, kindness, forgiveness and service' are lived out in everyday school life. Pupils are supportive of each other and readily help out in school, including through their leadership roles and responsibilities. Younger pupils, including children in the Nursery, quickly learn and follow the school's routines thoughtfully. They are curious and enthusiastic learners. For instance, they enjoy taking care of the chickens and are equally eager to toast marshmallows over a fire. Across the school, most pupils behave well, attend school regularly and enjoy learning. Leaders ensure that the school prioritises pupils' health and wellbeing. As a result, the environment is calm. Leaders and staff have high expectations and want the best for every pupil. They do all that they can to help pupils overcome any barriers to learning so that every pupil is successful. Across the school, pupils achieve well, both academically and personally. During lessons, they quickly settle into learning and are keen to do their best. They leave the school well prepared for the next steps in their education. Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra activities, such as visits to places of interest, clubs and enrichment activities. These experiences contribute to pupils' enjoyment of school and open up exciting opportunities to learn new skills, such as archery and music. The choir joyfully performs songs that get pupils on their feet dancing. Staff know straight away if something is amiss or if any pupils need extra support. As a result, pupils feel safe and well supported through the care of staff at the school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should embed and strengthen the teaching of transcription skills across key stages 1 and 2 so that pupils develop confidence, accuracy and fluency in writing.
- Leaders should strengthen staff expertise in identifying and addressing gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding across the wider curriculum.
