What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023

If it did happen, they are confident that staff would deal with it. Children in Reception are well cared for and follow clear routines. This helps them to engage with the well-planned activities staff organise for them. At play time, pupils enjoy using the outdoor spaces. Pupils in Year 6 can be 'playground leaders'. They help organise and supervise activities for younger pupils during lunchtime. They enjoy having this responsibility. Pupils can take part in a range of clubs that the school offers.

What the school should improve
- Leaders have recently focused on improving pupils' writing. This work is still in its early stages. They are still yet to precisely check that their actions are having the intended impact. Leaders should ensure they carefully monitor the school's work in this area. This will help leaders to identify what is working well and what still needs to improve.
