What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2023

The school strives to promote a 'can do' attitude in pupils. Many pupils embrace this way of thinking. They make the most of the learning opportunities that the school provides for them and achieve well. A number of pupils join the school part way through their primary education. At whatever point a child becomes part of this welcoming school, there is an ambition for them to succeed. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are keen to follow adult instructions and to live up to the high expectations of behaviour that the school has. Pupils trust that staff will help them with any worries or concerns that they may have. This helps pupils to feel happy at school. Those pupils who need extra help in managing their emotions are ably supported by caring and nurturing staff. Being part of a community school is important to the pupils. They place high value on contributing both to their school community and to the community in which they live. They take on leadership roles in school, such as house captains and sports leaders. Pupils raise money for local charities and help to clear the nearby beach of litter. These experiences show pupils what it means to be a responsible and positive member of a community.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This limits how well they learn. The school should work with these pupils and their families to improve pupils' attendance so that they can benefit from the good quality of education that is provided.
