What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

Pupils flourish at this vibrant, happy school. Pupils, staff, parents and carers are full of praise for the school's safe, caring ethos. This positive ethos is evident in all aspects of the school's provision and supports pupils' learning and development very well. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour and their attitudes to learning. This includes an equally strong ambition for disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils fulfil those expectations admirably. Their behaviour is excellent. They are polite and respectful to others. By the end of Year 6, pupils typically achieve high standards in national tests. Children in the early years settle quickly and make a very strong start to their schooling. Positive relationships enable children to thrive and make the most of the well-designed range of learning activities. The school promotes pupils' wider personal development exceptionally well. Pupils are taught how to be responsible and active young citizens and to celebrate difference. Pupils, regardless of their needs or circumstances, benefit from a wide range of educational trips and activities. These opportunities broaden pupils' horizons and nurture their talents and interests very well.

What the school should improve

  • The school's approach to assessment is not consistently strong in all areas of the curriculum. This means that, in those areas that have not been revised, teachers do not use assessment systematically enough to identify gaps in knowledge and help pupils embed and apply their learning. The school should ensure that systematic checks on pupils' knowledge and understanding are used effectively in all subjects, to inform teaching and support pupils to build secure knowledge and skills over time.
