What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 July 2025

Pupils thrive in this caring and supportive school. Staff warmly welcome pupils into school each day. They establish positive relationships with pupils. Due to this care and compassion, pupils feel happy and safe. They know that they can speak to a member of staff if they have a worry or concern. The school has high expectations. Pupils benefit from learning the knowledge set out in the school's ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum. The school is enhancing pupils' learning so that they achieve highly. They leave the school well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave well. They enjoy learning and show positive attitudes towards their work. They concentrate well in lessons and are motivated to succeed. The school's values of being 'reflective, resilient, responsible and respectful' are woven through the curriculum and daily routines. Pupils understand these values and demonstrate them in their behaviour and relationships with others. Pupils enjoy taking on a wide range of leadership roles. These develop their confidence and sense of responsibility towards others. For example, class ambassadors welcome visitors into their classroom and mathematics ambassadors promote mathematics to other pupils. The head boys and the head girls lead school tours for new pupils and their families.

What the school should improve

  • Some subjects are at an early stage of implementation. Sometimes, activities do not allow pupils to deepen their understanding. As a result, pupils do not secure the important knowledge as well as they could. The school, and the trust, should ensure that teachers have the expertise to teach all subjects consistently effectively, so that pupils learn and achieve highly across the curriculum.
  • The school does not effectively identify and address key gaps in some pupils' foundational knowledge of handwriting and spelling. This limits pupils' ability to write with accuracy and clarity. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise to help pupils improve their writing accuracy and proficiency in spelling and handwriting.
