What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 April 2023

Leaders have developed a culture in the school where everyone is welcome. They have high expectations for all pupils. Adults encourage pupils to be themselves and grow in confidence in order to be successful. Leaders' development of pupils' character is exceptional. There is a strong focus on celebrating pupils' achievements regularly. This includes a 'kindness medal' award which pupils nominate their class peers to receive for acts of kindness. Pupils are proud of their school. Staff know all pupils extremely well, which ensures that they are safe and well supported. Pupils are well behaved during lessons and around the school site. This includes in early years where staff help children to follow routines and instructions. Pupils have access to a wide range of extra opportunities in the school. These include various sports, art and gardening clubs. There is a thriving student council which helps to teach pupils about democracy. Alongside representing pupils' views, the council has also helped raise money for various charities.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, teaching does not identify and clarify pupils' misunderstandings. This means that pupils are not fully ready for future content. Leaders should develop the expertise of all teachers so that they identify and address any gaps in pupils' understanding consistently and in a timely manner.
