What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 June 2025

Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are proud and happy members of the 'Mychett family'. The school's values of positivity, integrity, resilience, respect and aspiration are the hallmark of everyday life. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic and wider success. It develops pupils' curiosity and concentration effectively from a young age. As a result, pupils mainly achieve well. Around school, pupils share a warm smile with their friends and staff as they go about their day. They behave well and demonstrate high levels of confidence and respect. Pupils are especially proud to achieve the 'Above and Beyond Awards'. They feel safe and trust that staff will help them and deal with any worries or concerns they have. Pupils benefit from the wide range of opportunities on offer. They develop their hobbies through clubs such as dance, taekwondo and needlework. Pupils take care of the environment. They plant flowers and organise litter picks. Pupils develop their leadership skills through a range of roles and responsibilities. They contribute to the local community by taking part in different fundraising initiatives such as raising donations for the food bank. Pupils talk excitedly about the residential trips where they learn vital skills such as teamwork and problem solving.

What the school should improve

  • There is variation in how well handwriting is taught. This means that some pupils do not secure the foundational skills of accurate letter formation well enough. The school should ensure that there is a consistent and effective approach to teaching early handwriting skills.
  • In a few foundation subjects, staff do not check and address misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. Consequently, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should continue its work to ensure that all staff are equipped to check and make sure that pupils secure the important knowledge they need to learn and remember well in all subjects.
