What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils are nurtured at this welcoming school. Pupils of all backgrounds are provided with the support they need to succeed. The school is particularly adept at identifying and meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy learning. They respond to the school's high expectations. They develop their knowledge and skills and achieve well. Pupils are keen to talk about what they have learned. They can do this confidently using new vocabulary. Pupils thoroughly enjoy reading in their 'thematic library', with seasonal books chosen for events such as Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. Children in the early years form strong relationships with staff. They develop the learning habits and routines they need to succeed in Year 1 and beyond. Pupils are well mannered and attentive. Pupils learn about fire safety and how to keep themselves safe at the local beach. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs such as cooking, forest school, Lego club and mindfulness. Pupils contribute to the leadership of the school through the school council.

What the school should improve

  • A significant proportion of pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This limits the progress they make through the curriculum and how well they achieve. The school should further strengthen relations with the community, ensuring that a combined approach of both the school and pupils' families improves the attendance of pupils.
  • Some pupils do not have sufficient knowledge about some fundamental British values, protected characteristics, or world faiths. This limits how well they are prepared for life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that pupils' learning in these areas is more embedded and that pupils can recall more detailed knowledge.
