What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this caring school. The warm relationships they have with the adults in the school help them feel safe and happy. Through their positive attitudes, pupils demonstrate the school's values of friendship, kindness, trust, hope, forgiveness and creativity. Pupils behave well around the school. They are polite and courteous to staff, visitors and one another. At breaktime, they enjoy playing with their friends. Older pupils act as playground buddies for younger pupils. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to meet these expectations. They work hard in lessons and try their best to succeed. Most pupils achieve well across the curriculum. The school encourages pupils to take up leadership positions, for example being members of the school council. Pupils say that they know staff listen to their ideas. Members of the school's eco council share their pride in having introduced paper recycling into classrooms to reduce waste. Pupils take part in the wide range of activities that the school provides for them. These include sporting and creative events at the local secondary school. These opportunities nurture pupils' talents and contribute to their wider development.
What the school should improve
- The support for pupils with SEND is variable. Their learning is not always closely matched to their needs. As a result, these pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could. The school must ensure that learning is adapted to enable all pupils, including those with SEND, to progress as well as possible through the curriculum.
