What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 January 2026

Pupils thrive at this safe and happy school. It is ambitious and caring. Staff work hard to make sure that every pupil feels supported. Pupils feel happy and included, and many describe the school as a place where everyone gets the chance to do their best and no one is left out. Pupils value how they learn in different ways. They especially enjoy the high-quality teaching and exciting lessons. The school helps pupils to overcome any difficulties with learning. Staff make sensible adjustments to teaching so that all pupils can learn alongside their peers, especially those who may need extra support. Pupils achieve very well over time. The school's well-sequenced curriculum and consistent approach help pupils to build strong knowledge and key skills. For example, pupils in Year 2 produce detailed writing using well-constructed sentences and ambitious vocabulary. Throughout the school, pupils take pride in their work and enjoy learning. Pupils attend school regularly. They arrive on time and settle quickly each morning due to the school's clear routines. This is especially noticeable in the early years, where children quickly become confident and enthusiastic learners. Around the school, behaviour is excellent. During breaktime and lunchtime, pupils play safely and treat each other kindly. Pupils understand what is expected of them and respond well. They listen carefully, follow instructions quickly and stay focused in lessons. The school is calm and well organised, so learning is not disrupted. Pupils feel confident that adults will help them if they need support or have concerns. There is a strong sense of community, with a clear commitment to equality and inclusion. Pupils enjoy a wide range of cultural and extra-curricular activities, including visits to museums, theatres and art galleries. These help pupils to grow in confidence and develop good character. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education and life beyond school.

What the school should improve

  • The school should continue its effective work to close the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their non-disadvantaged peers across all subjects, with a particular focus on mathematics.
