What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 September 2022

Pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. They are tolerant of those who are different from them. Pupils are safe and happy. Everyone at the school is valued and included, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). A cooperative and inclusive atmosphere is evident in classrooms and at playtimes. Bullying and unkindness are very rare. Pupils and parents know that staff will take prompt action if they do occur. Leaders have very high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils are proud to be part of the school and strive to do their best. Strong routines mean that learning begins without delay. Pupils behave well and value the rewards they get for doing so. They know the rules and feel they are fair. The few who need to improve their behaviour get the support they need to do so. A significant majority of parents share their children's positive view of the school. They say their children are safe, happy and make good progress. Events such as 'Wonderful Wednesdays' include parents in celebrations of pupils' achievement. Leaders strive to build positive relationships with families.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, the curriculum and support for pupils to learn it are not precise enough. This means that not all pupils learn as rapidly as they could. Leaders need to ensure that all pupils make the best possible progress.
