What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 June 2024
Pupils flourish at this highly inclusive school. The school sets out five core values for pupils to live by. These are teamwork, respect, integrity, enjoyment and discipline. Pupils apply these values in their daily learning and relationships. The result is a harmonious, welcoming school. Pupils enjoy their time here. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite and considerate to each other. Pupils of all ages play happily together. Relationships are based on trust. The school acts quickly to resolve any issues of bullying. Pupils feel safe and secure in school. The school is relentless in its pursuit of providing a high-quality education for all. Pupils take joy in learning. They especially love learning outdoors in the school's extensive fields and woodlands. Pupils make strong progress across all subjects and achieve exceptionally well. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils achieve standards above those expected for their age. Pupils enjoy frequent visits to local areas of interest, theatres and residential trips. They are proud of their fundraising work for charities, such as Children in Need. They benefit from an extensive range of clubs, including, sports, engineering, cooking and pottery. These opportunities prepare pupils well to become active, caring citizens.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to teaching handwriting is not as consistent as other aspects of the English curriculum. This means that pupils do not always get into good habits of letter formation so their handwriting is not as good as it could be. The school should review and improve the approach to teaching handwriting, so pupils develop good habits in early writing.
