What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

Pupils are happy at this fully inclusive school. Pupils play well together. They know that staff care for them and look after them. Pupils know that staff are ambitious for them as learners. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) work alongside their peers and within the speech and language base. Their needs are very carefully met. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are polite and kind. Most pupils behave well and work hard. Learning is rarely disrupted. The school is a calm and orderly place to learn. Children in the early years show enthusiasm and perseverance when learning something new. Pupils are taught to be resilient. They know it is 'okay to be different' and talk very well of fundamental British values and tolerance. The structured lunchtime programme is a firm favourite with pupils. It offers a rich range of activities that pupils enjoy. It helps them to develop their social skills, encouraging positive interactions and teamwork. There are many opportunities for pupils to lead, including being an Eco Warrior or a safeguarding ambassador. They enjoy the responsibilities of these roles.

What the school should improve

  • Some teachers' use of assessment does not consistently help to challenge pupils and extend their learning. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they might otherwise be expected to. The school should ensure that staff use assessment effectively to deepen and extend pupils' learning.
  • Sometimes, staff do not apply the school's behaviour policies consistently well. This means that, at times, pupils' learning can be disrupted. The school should ensure that all staff have the knowledge and expertise to consistently enact the agreed behaviour management policies.
