What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
Pupils are proud to belong to this inclusive school that sits at the heart of its community. They rise to the school's high expectations for their academic and wider achievements. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to learning and the quality of the work they produce. Pupils benefit from warm and trusting relationships with staff. They feel safe and know that adults will listen and help with any worries they may have. A strong ethos of mutual respect and trust is palpable in everyday routines. Pupils behave very well. They are kind, polite and welcoming. Dedicated staff ensure that pupils' needs are well met and they are fully prepared for their next steps. Any pupils who find it hard to manage their behaviour are supported sensitively to learn the strategies they need to succeed. Right from the start in the early years, the school promotes children's confidence and resilience. It provides pupils with many opportunities to develop their interests and explore their talents. Pupils value the wide range of school clubs they can attend. Music is a strong feature of the wider development provision. Pupils develop a deep sense of pride in their achievements, for example performing in the local church.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum design and assessment in some foundation subjects are not as refined as they could be. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could in these areas. The school should make sure that, for every subject, staff have the knowledge and resources they require to ensure and check that pupils learn and remember what they need to build secure learning over time.
- Some checks on the impact of the school's work lack the precision needed to provide the school with an accurate oversight of strengths and weaknesses. As a result, the school is not always able to focus and prioritise its improvement strategies. The school should ensure that the checks are refined to evaluate its work more effectively and that those responsible for governance have the expertise to robustly challenge leaders.
