What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 July 2025
Pupils are proud of their welcoming school. They want to come to school because of the warm relationships that they enjoy with each other and staff. These are mirrored in the way that pupils care for one another. Pupils arrive at school ready to learn. Pupils strive to meet the high expectations that the school has for their behaviour. They do this well and value the importance of treating others in a way that they would like to be treated themselves. Pupils are kind and considerate to each other. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe at school. Pupils' wider development is well considered at this school. Their school experience is enriched by a range of trips and visits. For example, pupils speak enthusiastically about visits to Chester to learn about the Romans. Pupils flourish and increase their independence in leadership roles. These include acting as school councillors. The school wants the very best for pupils. Since the previous inspection, it has taken action to strengthen the curriculum. This has been successful. Pupils respond well to the high aspirations that the school has for their achievement. Typically, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the school does not identify and address the gaps and misconceptions in some pupils' knowledge as well as it could. When this happens, pupils move on to new learning before they are ready. The school should ensure that teaching addresses any gaps or misunderstandings in pupils' learning consistently well so that pupils build sufficient depth in their knowledge over time.
- Some younger pupils do not master accurate letter formation by the time that they leave Year 2. This hinders their writing fluency as they move through the curriculum. The school should ensure that pupils have the skills that they need to be successful writers.
