What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 March 2026
Pupils work hard and try their best. They feel calm and settled. Pupils typically behave well and enjoy learning. At playtimes, they play happily together. They know it is important to be kind to others who are different from them. Over time, pupils learn to be ready for life in modern Britain. Staff and pupils have positive relationships. Pupils explain that staff care for them. Bullying rarely happens because pupils know that staff will stop it. The hard work of staff ensures that pupils feel safe. Pupils benefit from the extra opportunities the school offers. For example, all pupils learn to play a musical instrument. Many enjoy singing. These activities help pupils explore their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy the curriculum offer, and most pupils attend well. Older pupils look forward to and feel ready to move on to secondary school. Additionally, they set a positive example for younger pupils. They understand their role in the school community and are ready for the next stage of their education. In some subjects, staff do not have high enough expectations of what pupils can achieve. As a result, pupils do not make as much progress as they could. Additionally, staff do not always correct the mistakes pupils make. Because of this, pupils repeat these errors. In these cases, pupils do not achieve as highly as they could.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should strengthen the consistency and quality of curriculum delivery across all subjects and year groups. This includes ensuring that all staff have a secure understanding of curriculum expectations.
- Leaders should ensure that there are clear and consistent expectations for pupils' work in accuracy, presentation and curriculum progression. This includes how effectively staff identify and address pupils' misconceptions so that pupils secure the knowledge they need.
- Governors should strengthen how effectively they hold leaders to account, particularly in the teaching of the curriculum and pupils' achievement.
