What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

Pupils arrive at school happy to begin their day of learning. They feel welcome and a part of the school community as adults greet them with warmth and positivity. They follow the routines of the school because they know how they are expected to behave, including in Nursery. Pupils' behaviour is of an exceptional standard both during lessons and on the playground. As a result, the atmosphere in the school is calm and allows learning to occur without disruption. The school expects pupils to achieve well, including those who are disadvantaged and have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils make an effort to reach these high standards, with many achieving well. They value the rich learning opportunities available and embrace them. For example, in art, pupils enjoy sculpting their designed creations. They consider the size and geometrical form their product will take, and how they can adopt ideas from the work of artists. The school has carefully considered experiences for pupils to develop their character. Many pupils take on meaningful leadership roles which they are proud to apply for. This includes 'play leaders', who offer a friendly face on the playground and ensure that children always have someone to play with.

What the school should improve

  • The support offered to pupils with SEND to ensure they can access the curriculum is variable. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that adaptations to teaching approaches are applied consistently as appropriate to pupils' individual needs.
