What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to school. The school has a positive and welcoming atmosphere, which helps pupils to feel settled. Pupils value their teachers because they know that staff only want the very best for them. Should pupils have any worries or concerns, they know who to talk to. Pupils recognise that staff will act quickly and decisively to help them. Pupils behave well at this school. They are proud of the calm and friendly environment, both in and outside of the classroom. Pupils are respectful towards each other and adults. They are taught to respect each other's differences and show kindness to each other. Pupils consider bullying to be very rare and quickly dealt with. The school has high expectations for what pupils will achieve. Pupils keenly strive to achieve these. Focused staff training and a detailed curriculum support pupils to participate fully in their learning and enjoy working with their classmates. Pupils are very familiar with the school's 'ROOTS' values of: 'respect all, overcome challenges, open minds, take care and speak kindly'. They use these to consider how they should treat each other. Pupils of all ages are taught how to help keep themselves safe and healthy.
What the school should improve
- At times, there is some inconsistency in how well the foundation curriculum is taught. Where this is the case, pupils do not remember as much as they could. The school must ensure that teaching approaches match the intent of the curriculum and lead to pupils securing the necessary knowledge and skills across all subjects
- There is variation in how well assessment is used to identify gaps in pupils' knowledge. As a result, teachers do not always know which aspects need to be reviewed and recapped to ensure pupils remember everything they should. The school must ensure that all checking is consistently effective in identifying and remedying any gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding.
