What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

This is a welcoming inclusive school for all pupils. Parents, carers and pupils agree there is warmth and a sense of learning together in their school. Each morning, pupils arrive at school smiling and look forward to their day ahead. The school sets high expectations for pupils to achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND). Overall, pupils realise these expectations and achieve well through the curriculum. There is a calm respectful atmosphere across the school. For example, pupils are proud to show and speak about the artwork that is brightly displayed in all areas. They are positive about their learning. Pupils are kind and respectful towards each other. Their conduct and attitude in classrooms and beyond are excellent. Pupils value that the school focuses on rewarding and celebrating positive behaviour. Bullying is rare, and if it does occur, it is dealt with swiftly. Pupils' experiences are enriched beyond the academic curriculum. Learning becomes alive through the school's 'Widening Horizons' programme. Pupils relish learning new skills in mixed-age groups. Parent volunteers join in. Pupils speak enthusiastically about their experiences. These include learning about Japanese culture, playing American football and making scrapbooks. Pupils value this time when their community becomes one.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, staff do not check pupils' prior knowledge carefully enough. As a result, pupils' learning in some subjects is not secure. The school should make sure that staff check effectively what pupils know and remember well in all subjects to help them address any gaps in pupils' knowledge of the curriculum.
