What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this happy, caring school. They get off to the best possible start due to the positive relationships staff build with parents and carers from the moment their children start school. Pupils value the friendships they make at school and talk enthusiastically about their learning. The school is ambitious to achieve high standards for its pupils. Pupils achieve well in the Year 1 phonics screening and Year 4 multiplication checks and in national tests when they leave the school. Pupils feel safe in this inclusive school. They know the school cares for them by teaching them how to stay safe in school and online. Pupils also relish the opportunities to take on roles and responsibilities, particularly the 'headstarter' well-being role. They feel it is important to be able to help each other. The overwhelming majority of parents praise the school's work. One parent captured the views of many in saying, 'I feel very happy that my child gets to flourish and grow in such a positive environment.'
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is implemented less effectively than it is in others. Where this is the case, pupils do not learn important knowledge in sufficient depth. The school should ensure that the important knowledge pupils need to know is mapped out clearly and taught well so pupils learn more deeply.
- The school's attendance strategies are not reaching some pupils, who continue to have low attendance. The school should work closely with parents and carers to remove barriers to attendance and to further reduce the number of pupils who are persistently absent.
