What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

This is a welcoming, happy and inclusive school. The school's values of 'courage, curiosity and community' underpin all that it offers. The school has high expectations for pupils. Effective teaching helps most pupils to achieve well. The curriculum inspires pupils to learn. For example, in the early years, exceptionally well-planned activities motivate children to become absorbed in their learning. Children sustain high levels of concentration when they use maracas and tambourines to beat in time to songs they sing. Pastoral provision is highly effective, because the school understands pupils' needs well. Staff form supportive relationships with pupils and parents. Pupils trust adults and feel safe at school. Pupils who require extra help are provided with focused and nurturing support in 'The Cottage' and 'The Warren'. This helps pupils to thrive. Pupils are positive ambassadors for the school. They are sociable, well-mannered and friendly. Pupils enjoy school. They know what is expected of them. This helps them to behave well. At breaktimes, pupils joyfully participate in activities such as cycling, listening to music and using the climbing frame. Several parents and carers spoke highly of the family feel of the school and the positive impact of the school's work on their children's development.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, the school does not make effective use of assessment, because it does not take sufficient account of pupils' starting points. When this is the case, the school does not precisely adapt learning activities to meet pupils' needs. As a result, a minority of pupils, including some pupils with SEND, do not learn the curriculum as successfully as they could. The trust should ensure that assessment routinely takes full account of pupils' starting points in all subjects, so that pupils securely build the knowledge the school expects them to.
