What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils enjoy school and arrive each morning ready to learn. Staff know them well. Everyone is made to feel welcome at this school. This is especially important for the pupils who join at different times in the school year. Pupils accept one another and embrace their differences. They take care to ensure that everyone feels included. Pupils' behaviour is very positive. Routines are quickly established with children in the early years. Across the school, pupils are polite and helpful. Older pupils are excellent role models for younger pupils. This is especially true of those pupils who hold leadership roles. They wear their badges with pride. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. In turn, pupils achieve well. They persevere when faced with challenges. They enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning new things. A range of trips and enriching activities helps make learning memorable. Pupils leave Year 6 well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils speak highly of the broad range of wider opportunities available. They especially enjoy residential trips, which help them to develop their independence. Clubs such as cross-country, craft and football are popular. These help pupils to learn new skills and develop their interests.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school highly enough. This means that they miss out on the school's high-quality education and personal development. The school should prioritise its work to support these pupils and their families to ensure maximum attendance for all.
