What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

Pupils enjoy attending this popular and rapidly growing school. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic success. It fosters pupils' curiosity and concentration effectively from a young age. As a result, pupils generally achieve well in many subjects. Children in early years settle in right from the start. Staff ensure that children are ready for learning in Year 1 and beyond. There is a strong sense of community, where pupils feel that they belong. The school has a consistent approach to managing pupils' behaviour. Pupils know where the boundaries are. As a result, they are respectful and sensitive to each other's needs. Staff provide effective support for pupils' mental health and well-being. This helps pupils to become confident and successful learners. Pupils make a positive contribution to the life of the school. For example, older pupils act as role models to younger ones. They help those who are new in school to feel happy and settled. Pupils take a full part in school life and they work hard supporting local and national charities. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a wide variety of clubs and trips, which broaden their experiences. These include residential visits and clubs, such as sports and arts.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the school has not defined the essential knowledge that pupils should learn clearly enough. This hinders teachers from ensuring that pupils remember what they need in order to progress well. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers are clear about the key knowledge that pupils should secure in readiness for future learning.
