What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 November 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this happy and welcoming school. Leaders ensure there is a calm and family-feel atmosphere. Staff know pupils well and foster a culture of mutual respect and care. Parents and carers praise the efforts staff make to help their children achieve, belong and thrive. Staff form trusting relationships with pupils. Incidents of bullying or discrimination are rare. Pupils are confident that staff will help them quickly deal with any concerns they may have. They feel safe and well cared for. Pupils' enjoyment of their school experiences is reflected in their high attendance. They leave school well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or have special educational needs and/or disabilities, work hard to meet the high expectations that staff have for their behaviour and achievement. Pupils generally achieve well. However, there are some inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is taught in subjects other than English and mathematics. Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and visits that are carefully matched to their learning. For example, they go on local walks to learn about the area's unique history and geographical context. Staff deliver a curriculum that helps pupils understand their place in the world as positive citizens. Through weekly assemblies and discussions, pupils learn how they can use their collective voice to influence decisions others make. They are particularly proud of their impact in raising awareness about 'sustainable living' in the community. Pupils develop their leadership skills by taking on roles and responsibilities such as becoming school councillors and 'playtime buddies'. They take part in a range of clubs and activities such as fencing and playing marbles. Leaders ensure that these opportunities are inclusive and open to all pupils.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that teachers systematically check pupils' understanding, including in the early years, so that pupils' achievement is consistently high across the wider curriculum.
