What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This school is a welcoming place. Staff look after pupils well. They help pupils to share their feelings and pupils receive support to manage their emotions. Staff and pupils have positive relationships. This means pupils feel happy and safe. They trust staff to help them and this means they settle well into their learning. Pupils demonstrate the school's 'purple promises' by showing kindness and respect to each other. They move around the school in a calm and orderly manner. Older pupils help younger pupils to have happy playtimes and they play well with each other. The school is ambitious for all pupils to fulfil their potential and most pupils achieve well. Pupils are enthusiastic to learn and share their ideas. Staff praise pupils for their good work and this motivates them to produce high-quality work. Most pupils listen to instructions and follow routines well. Pupils develop their character by visiting the local care home, where they read stories and sing to the residents. The school council is proactive in keeping the school site litter free. They organise events to raise money for national charities, for example, by holding a dance competition. This helps pupils to develop a sense of responsibility.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, some activities that teachers plan do not secure pupils' knowledge. This prevents pupils from building their knowledge well over time. The trust should support teachers in developing activities that deepen pupils' knowledge and understanding in all subjects.
