What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
This is a community driven school where 'opportunity for all' is strongly embedded. The school provides an array of enrichment activities to ensure pupils gain valuable life experiences. Pupils take part in trips, workshops, clubs, and a range of musical and artistic opportunities. The school works effectively with families and nurtures the pupils in its care. Parents and carers speak warmly of the school and consider it welcoming and approachable. The curriculum helps pupils to learn well. They receive a broad and enriched education. The school has high expectations for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs/and or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is carefully thought through to build on the strong foundation set in the early years. Pupils are motivated to learn. Around school they are respectful and courteous. The school lives by its values to 'aim high, be resilient and care for all'. Pupils persevere in the face of setbacks and are taught to be ambitious. Children in the early years quickly develop emotional awareness and show kindness to one another. Older pupils take on leadership roles, such as house captains, playleaders and eco- warriors. Leaders have worked successfully to raise attendance and most pupils now attend well. Pupils feel safe and are confident that they can talk to staff if they have any concerns.
What the school should improve
- The school has not previously provided pupils with as many opportunities to develop their writing to as high a standard as they could. This means that pupils do not achieve as well in their writing as they could do. The school should ensure that they further develop their approach to the teaching of writing so pupils' writing skills are improved in every year group.
