What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 January 2026
This is a school that cherishes its pupils. As soon as children join in the early years, they are welcomed with warm, nurturing, open arms. Leaders and staff focus sharply on getting to know pupils and their families well. The school wants to know pupils' likes and dislikes and spot early any perceived barriers to learning. This is because the school wants its pupils to enjoy their learning so that they can thrive. Pupils love school. They arrive in the morning keenly, ready to learn. In class, pupils are highly engaged. They learn well because teaching skilfully helps them connect ideas together. Consequently, pupils typically achieve highly in nationally assessed subjects. Pupils behave responsibly. They treat each other with respect. Older pupils enjoy helping younger pupils understand their rights and responsibilities in school and the wider world. For example, pupil leaders visit classes and speak at assemblies to help pupils understand the importance of human rights. Bullying rarely happens here. However, if incidents of bullying occur, the school takes decisive actions to stop them. Pupils are safe here. The school meaningfully prepares pupils for life beyond the school. For instance, in addition to the design and technology curriculum, from the early years onwards, pupils receive cookery lessons regularly. This is because the school wants all its pupils to embed deeply the essential life-long knowledge of health and nutrition. The school wants pupils to be self- confident and resilient. It provides pupils with various avenues to develop these character traits, includes working with a local arts charity to help pupils develop skills in public speaking. The school supports all pupils to have equal access to everything on offer.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should continue to analyse closely the reasons for poor attendance of pupil groups and individuals and use this information to inform the actions to drive rapid improvement.
