What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils at this school are happy and well cared for. They thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe and valued. Staff know each pupil well. Pupils trust the adults around them to help whenever they face concerns or worries. This warm, supportive environment ensures that pupils feel secure and confident as part of the school community. The school expects its pupils to 'show determination and to not give up when things get hard'. Pupils rise to this. They work hard in lessons and approach learning eagerly, for example through participating actively in discussions. This all helps pupils to achieve well, in line with the school's high expectations. Pupils are confident, polite and courteous. They are respectful towards each other and towards adults. Pupils behave well, in and out of lessons. Disruptions to learning are rare. The school trusts pupils with responsibilities. The younger pupils in school appreciate the help they get from 'playground pals'. Reading ambassadors help organise book fairs and act as library monitors. Pupils celebrate the diversity that is found in their school. For example, they learn about other people's faiths and beliefs through assemblies about different religious festivals. These experiences help to prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching does not check if pupils have a secure understanding of important concepts before introducing new content. This creates gaps in understanding and hinders pupils from building strong, conceptual understanding. The school should ensure that teaching identifies and addresses misconceptions before moving forward so that pupils master knowledge securely.
