What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Pupils thrive at this school. Staff in early years carefully support children to settle at school. Pupils across the school are safe and happy as a result of the care provided by staff. Pupils live up to the school's expectations of them. This starts in the early years, where children follow clear routines. Pupils are taught to listen attentively to adults and to each other. The school has introduced a 'restorative' approach to address any behaviours that do not meet the school's expectations. Pupils appreciate having opportunities to reflect and focus on how they can do better next time. The school provides pupils with a broad and enriching curriculum that ensures pupils achieve well academically. It also provides extensive opportunities for personal growth and development. The curriculum is, for example, supported by an exceptionally broad range of trips, visits and experiences. Pupils' health and well-being are a top priority within the school. In addition to physical education (PE), pupils have ongoing opportunities for physical movement and physical development within each school day. The school offers a wide range of effective help for those pupils who need more support with their well-being. Staff make the school a place that pupils want to be. Most pupils attend well.
What the school should improve
- At times, the school does not ensure that the curriculum is adapted sufficiently well, particularly for pupils with SEND. This can result in some pupils being moved on to new learning before they have embedded their knowledge and understanding fully. The school should ensure that the planned curriculum meets the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND, consistently well.
