What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

Pupils enjoy being part of this ambitious and inclusive school. There is a strong culture of respect and tolerance, where differences are celebrated. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and mutually respectful. Pupils enjoy additional responsibilities, including as eco-counsellors, 'Bistro Buddies', play leaders and class counsellors. Each day pupils demonstrate the school's values of aspiration, resilience, respect and integrity. The school is a calm and purposeful learning environment. This is because the school sets out high and clear expectations of pupils' behaviour and achievement. Staff understand these expectations, and support pupils where needed so that they achieve well. There are clear and established routines throughout the day. At lunchtime, there is a wide variety of activities for pupils to enjoy outside, where they play well together. As a result, pupils behave very well almost all of the time. Pupils are happy and safe here. Pupils know that they can speak with trusted adults in school if they have concerns for themselves or for their friends. They know that adults will listen to them and take any concerns seriously to help them.

What the school should improve

• There is variability in the support that pupils at the early stages of reading receive. This means that some pupils are not helped to improve their reading as quickly as they could be. The school should provide training to ensure that all staff who support pupils are equipped with sufficient skills to do so. The school should then check carefully that additional support for these pupils leads to swift improvements in their reading.
