What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils appreciate the care and support they receive from adults at this school. Pupils are safe and secure. The school has created a culture of high expectations. As a result, pupils in all year groups, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), work hard to produce their best possible work. The school has an orderly and industrious atmosphere. Pupils make a strong contribution to the calm character of the school. They are well mannered and helpful. Staff are kind in their approach to pupils. This helps pupils to aspire to be successful in their learning. Staff prioritise the health and well-being of pupils and their families. They support families when they need extra help. Pupils are attentive to each other's needs and listen to one another politely. Their conduct reflects the inclusive and respectful behaviour that staff model for them. Pupils have many opportunities through celebrations and local and national competitions to widen their creative talents. This is a singing school. Staff design assemblies that harmonise their values with pupils' voices. Pupils take on leadership responsibilities as group leaders, captains and council members. The school takes an active role in local charities.

What the school should improve

  • At times, activities in the early years do not help children to learn the new curriculum as well as they should. This means that some children in the early years do not make as much progress as they should. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to deliver the new curriculum consistently well.
  • On occasion, the support for pupils with SEND is not as effective as it should be. This hinders some pupils with SEND from achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils with SEND receive consistently high quality and effective support.
