What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 June 2025

Pupils love their school. They thrive because of the care and attention they receive. They learn to take appropriate risks while also learning how to stay safe and keep healthy, both mentally and physically. Pupils develop the confidence to try new things and challenge themselves. An ambitious curriculum inspires pupils and captures their interests. Children in the early years establish strong foundations for learning, which continue to grow as pupils move through the school. Teachers help pupils to remember key content and achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils apply for, and undertake, influential leadership roles, such as buddies, ambassadors or members of the social action team. They take the initiative and play an active part in school life as well as the wider community. A wide range of clubs and extra-curricular activities enrich the curriculum and evolve in response to pupils' requests. The school's values of gratitude, respect, ownership and wisdom (GROW) guide pupils in how to behave and approach their learning. Staff recognise and praise pupils for demonstrating these values. A culture of celebration runs through the school. This encourages everyone to learn and grow together.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, staff do not identify quickly enough when pupils have understood the important concepts needed for further learning. As a result, some pupils who are ready to move on and further develop their understanding do not achieve as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that staff identify when pupils are secure in their learning and ready to apply what they learn in different ways, so that all pupils achieve as highly as they can.
  • The school does not always use available information to identify root causes or evaluate the impact of its actions as well as it could. This means that gaps and reasons for gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding are sometimes missed. Barriers to regular attendance are sometimes not identified. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could and some are absent too frequently. The school should use the information it collects more effectively so that pupils attend regularly and achieve as well as they can.
