What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
The school's ambition for pupils 'to be the best they can', echoes throughout every interaction and activity. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Relationships are positive and allow everyone here to thrive. Staff take great care to get to know each pupil and their family. From their first days in school, the nurturing approach means that pupils feel happy, safe and well cared for. Staff are dedicated to ensuring that all pupils receive the help and guidance they need to succeed. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are accurately identified and benefit from swift targeted support. As a result, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils gain new experiences through going on a wide range of trips and visits. They are encouraged to develop their artistic, sporting and linguistic talents and interests in an array of clubs. These are very well attended by all. Pupils learn to be good citizens by engaging with the local community, visiting the local church and singing at care homes. Parents and carers are unanimous in their praise of the school. One parent, typical of many, described the school as, 'a place where pupils are valued and supported, and where they learn the values of respect, compassion and tolerance.'
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the tasks and activities given to pupils do not take fully into account their starting points. This affects some pupils' learning. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise to provide pupils with activities and tasks which reflects their needs and helps them learn the essential knowledge.
