What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
The school has high aspirations for pupils. Pupils are motivated to do their best. They start each school day ready to learn. All at the school are committed to the school's C.L.E.A.R. values of care, learn, engage, achieve and reflect. These are interwoven into all aspects of school life. Pupils are proud to earn awards in recognition of the values. They strive to become 'values champions'. Pupils feel happy and safe and build good relationships. They are well cared for by staff who know them well. Pupils know and understand the high expectations the school has for their behaviour. They enjoy playing with their friends at playtimes, particularly when it is their turn on the go-karts. Pupils understand what bullying is. They are adamant that bullying does not happen here, but they are sure that if it did occur adults would deal with it promptly and effectively. Pupils are extremely proud to take on roles of leadership. Members of the pupil voice committee enjoy working with the parish council to help redesign the local park and play equipment. House captains raise money by running stalls at school events.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not check what pupils understand effectively enough. This leads to some misconceptions not being addressed and gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that teaching employs assessment effectively across all subjects.
