What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 November 2025
Pupils enjoy learning at this caring school. They are safe and happy. Pupils attend school well. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils know that they have a trusted adult they can talk to if they have any worries. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils behave well in lessons and at social times. They know to be respectful to others and have no concerns about bullying. A number of pupils join the school at different times throughout the year. They are warmly welcomed and settle into the school well. Children in the early years learn in a supportive and nurturing environment. They quickly develop the knowledge and skills they need to be ready for key stage 1. Leaders understand the additional needs that pupils may have. This helps them to ensure that pupils generally get the support they need to learn well. Pupils appreciate the support that teachers provide in lessons to help them learn. Typically, pupils achieve as expected by the end of key stage 2. As a result, this prepares them well for the next steps. Pupils are proud to contribute to the school. For example, they enjoy being school councillors, 'happiness heroes' and taking part in the school choir. Pupils have many opportunities to engage with the local community, for example visiting the local care home and taking part in Remembrance Day activities. These opportunities help to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain. Pupils enjoy attending different clubs, such as those for chess and sporting activities. They take part in a range of trips, including residential stays and visits to different places of worship. These opportunities help to broaden pupils' experiences.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently adapt the delivery of the curriculum to support pupils to overcome barriers to learning so that they achieve highly.
- Leaders should ensure that staff consistently support pupils to develop the skills and knowledge they need to write with accuracy and fluency, including spelling, punctuation and handwriting.
