What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 March 2026

Pupils are happy at this inclusive and welcoming school. They attend well. Pupils form strong and respectful relationships with staff, who care deeply about them and know them extremely well. Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported by staff, who skilfully remove any barriers to learning they may face. Staff nurture and respond to pupils' individual needs. This helps pupils to develop a sense of security and belonging. The school's values and the sense of community makes it feel like family to its pupils. Pupils bring school values such as kindness, joy, honesty and forgiveness to life through their daily interactions with one another. Pupils love learning and are eager to do their best. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Across the school pupils are taught to behave, be honest and take responsibility for themselves. A culture of respect is evident. Staff apply the school's high expectations for behaviour consistently. Consequently, pupils are polite and courteous in response. Pupils benefit considerably from the school's extensive personal development offer. Opportunities to develop their interests and talents are plentiful. These range from sports to cultural to creative pursuits. Pupils take pride in the roles and responsibilities they covet, such as school councillors and prefects. They know through their leadership roles that they can influence change, make a difference, support younger pupils and practise patience serving others. Educational visits, such as to the zoo or museums, boost classroom learning and make for memorable experiences. Intentionally, they also help pupils understand the curriculum better. Children get off to a flying start in the early years. Staff expertly help children settle quickly and remove any barriers to learning so that every child can succeed. Pupils make steady progress from early years to Year 6. They achieve well in many subjects. Most pupils leave the school ready for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should continue to strengthen their work to support disadvantaged pupils' learning, including ensuring that the pupil premium strategy is implemented consistently and evaluated effectively, so that disadvantaged pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
• Leaders should ensure that the school's assessment arrangements in the wider curriculum help teachers to check pupils' understanding and adapt teaching appropriately so that gaps in pupils' knowledge are addressed consistently.
• Leaders should continue to strengthen their work to embed strategies for developing writing and transcription so they can continue to improve pupils' achievement.
