What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
This is a nurturing and happy school, where pupils enjoy learning. Pupils describe it as a welcoming place where everyone is nice to one another. They understand how the school's values help them to have the courage to try new things. The school has high aspirations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these expectations. They work hard and achieve well across the curriculum. The school has clear expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils follow the school rules well. This starts in the early years, where children learn routines quickly, take turns and play well together. Pupils are polite and courteous. They confidently hold conversations with adults. Staff know the pupils for the individuals they are. Relationships are positive across the school. Pupils trust adults to listen and help them with any worries they may have. They feel safe and cared for because of this. Pupils enjoy the range of opportunities on offer to them, such as netball club, trips to museums or a residential visit. They take pride in taking on leadership roles, which include school and worship council, play buddies and leading school assemblies. Pupils understand how these roles help them to set a positive example to others.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, learning is not adapted well enough to meet pupils' needs. Where this is the case, pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could across the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that learning is suitably adapted so that pupils have the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to achieve highly in all subjects across the curriculum.
