What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Pupils revel in coming to their inclusive and welcoming school every day and on time. They greet staff and their friends with a warm smile. They are safe here. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and congenial. The school has high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations of their behaviour and achievement. The school provides pupils with a broad range of opportunities and experiences, which helps to bring the curriculum to life. For example, the school organises trips to museums and a local Stone Age learning resource. Pupils do not worry about any unkindness from other pupils. They trust that staff will deal with any issues or worries promptly. Pupils are positive citizens. They proudly fulfil their roles within the school, such as being members of the school council, buddies and librarians. Pupils learn about different cultures and festivals. They talk maturely and with consideration about the rights of others. Social times are harmonious. Pupils take pride and care in how they look in their school uniforms. Younger children follow instructions with thought and care. They explore the environment confidently and independently, as well as collaboratively with their peers. Pupils talk knowledgeably about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and healthy relationships.

What the school should improve

  • The school's communication with some parents about how it manages some pupils' more challenging behaviour is not as effective as it could be. This means that some parents do not gain enough insight on the school's responses to behaviour. The school should make sure that it liaises well with all parents, so they are well informed about its work.
