What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
Pupils thrive in this joyful, caring and ambitious school. The school's values of respect, resilience and responsibility permeate throughout the happy and purposeful classrooms. Expectations for learning and behaviour are unapologetically high for all. Pupils learn to care for others and their environment, leading to excellent behaviour in lessons and when playing outside. Pupils achieve well in this school, in spite of a dip in 2024 key stage 2 published test outcomes. Pupils develop and apply reading, writing and mathematical skills with confidence, accuracy and success. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve highly. This is as a result of staff's skilful adaptations in teaching the curriculum and their extensive pastoral support for pupils. The support for pupils' character development is a strength of the school. Pupils demonstrate strong understanding of equity. They debate moral dilemmas, listen to the views of others, celebrate diversity and stand up against prejudice in the world. The school's work on mental health is transformative for pupils. The school's pupil 'mental health ambassadors' and 'change champions' play a significant role in promoting positive well-being and emotional welfare. Pupils appreciate the nurturing support from expert staff. This school strives to find the best in everyone. Leaders are tireless in their efforts to ensure that all pupils benefit particularly well from a rich range of trips, clubs and sport and music opportunities.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the work given to pupils does not fully meet the ambitions of some aspects of the wider curriculum. This can prevent some pupils from developing a deep understanding of key concepts, knowledge and skills. The school and trust should ensure that the design of lesson activities supports pupils to achieve highly across the whole curriculum.
