What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 May 2026
Pupils are at the heart of this vibrant school community. They are well known, nurtured and championed by staff. As a result, they are set up for future success. Pupils have excellent relationships with staff based on kindness and love. These begin in the early years, which effectively supports children to make a flying start to their education. Pupils across the school say they feel safe and they know who to turn to if they have a problem. Positive relationships mean they can do so with confidence. Pupils can access pastoral advice whenever they need it. Leadership roles empower pupils, and 'ACE champions' show everyone in school how to be ambitious, curious and ever-respectful, in line with the school's values. Pupils enjoy their learning. They take pride in their presentation and they work hard to make every piece of work better than the last. When they need help, it is given quickly and effectively. This includes pupils with barriers to their learning. They are offered subtle but effective support so that they can learn alongside their friends. Pupils leave this school well prepared for the demands of secondary school. They achieve well in national tests throughout their time in school. Pupils say they enjoy school trips and visits. They like the clubs that the school offers. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. They have clear routines and structures in place. They know what is expected from them and their friends. When bullying happens, action is taken to prevent it from continuing. Pupils are taught to be the best they can be. All pupils receive the support they need and there are clear consequences in place to deter them from repeating mistakes. This approach works well and pupils respect it. Pupils attend school regularly and leaders support pupils who find this challenging.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that teachers adapt tasks and activities more precisely, so that learning is consistently well matched to individual pupils’ needs.
- Leaders should continue to monitor the effectiveness of their personal development programme to ensure that pupils can confidently talk about what they have learned in detail.
- Leaders should continue their work to improve the attainment and attendance of disadvantaged pupils.
