What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 June 2025

Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing school. They live by the 'golden rules' and behave well. Pupils learn about their mental health and well-being. They know how their brains work. Pupils use breathing and yoga techniques when they want to feel calm. They are increasingly able to manage their own emotions and responses. In lessons, pupils use the 'power of 3' behaviours to be ready for learning. Staff have high expectations. Pupils quickly respond to adults' instructions. Pupils enjoy their lessons and remember what they have learned before. They make good progress. Most are ready for the next stage of learning in the junior school. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that all adults care for them and will help them. They learn how to stay safe in school and out. For example, pupils learn to swim because they live close to the sea. Pupils enjoy a range of experiences, trips and visitors linked to their learning. They are active members of the local community, performing in church and visiting a local care home regularly. The school parliament members vote for charities to support. The school is currently supporting a dementia charity, which links to their work in the community.

What the school should improve

  • The school has not ensured that pupils' writing transcription skills are securely embedded. Too many pupils move through the school with a lack of fluency in writing. The school should ensure that the planned handwriting curriculum is taught consistently well so that pupils develop automaticity and fluency in handwriting.
