What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

Pupils are happy at school and excited about their learning. They are proud to share the work they have done and talk about what they have learned. Leaders provide an ambitious curriculum, which pupils enjoy. They ensure that the curriculum helps pupils to learn about different cultures and backgrounds. In early years, staff provide children with excellent support and guidance. The school's values thread through school life. Pupils show respect for each other in their play and when learning. They work hard, and teachers encourage them to think independently. All staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning. They help to keep pupils safe. Classes are very calm and positive places to be, where pupils' behaviour is superb. Leaders ensure that all pupils access a wealth of personal development opportunities. Teachers plan activities to provide a range of learning experiences to enhance the curriculum. All pupils learn to play a range of instruments. They can perform and attend concerts. Leaders make great use of the local area. For example, pupils visit the local forest and museums.

What the school should improve

  • Recent changes to the curriculum have led to an increased workload for some staff. Leaders need to make sure that any changes, including to the curriculum, carefully take into account staff workload and well-being.
