What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 April 2025

Pupils benefit from the school's clear and consistent values and ethos, which are woven through every aspect of school life. The school creates an inclusive and nurturing environment where every pupil is welcome. Pupils form positive relationships with staff and each other. These relationships underpin the impeccable behaviour that pupils demonstrate throughout the school day. At social times, older pupils support and mentor younger children and take great pride in doing so. As a result, pupils feel safe. The school has high ambition of what pupils can achieve. Starting in the early years, children get off to a great start. They learn the foundations of the school's curriculum through carefully designed activities. As they move through the school, pupils continue to learn well and meet the school's expectations. Pupils' voice is sought and valued. They help to make decisions about things that are important to them. For example, pupils in the eco council petitioned trust leaders successfully to change the school's lights to energy-efficient bulbs. School councillors organise community coffee mornings or cake sales to raise money for charity. Pupils enjoy a range of sporting and creative activities in the extra-curricular programme, such as football, multisport, Spanish and gardening club.

What the school should improve

  • Much of the school's work to improve pupils' writing is not securely embedded. Some pupils have gaps in their understanding of spelling, punctuation and grammar. The trust and the school should strengthen the approach to writing and ensure that sufficient opportunities are in place for pupils to write accurately, independently and at length.
