What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2022

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are proud of their school motto: 'healthy bodies, healthy minds and healthy future'. Pupils demonstrate these values in lessons and throughout the school day. Pupils told inspectors that they feel safe and happy in school. They know that they can go to a trusted adult if they have any worries. Pupils also said that bullying is very rare. If there is any unkindness, leaders and staff deal with it quickly and well. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils and children in the early years live up to leaders' expectations. They get on with their learning without interruption. As a result, the school is calm and pupils achieve well. Pupils have many opportunities to enjoy a well-planned programme of wider personal development. Pupils join in with local competitions, such as chess tournaments, and university graduation days with enthusiasm. They enjoy the range of extra clubs on offer, such as debate club, cross-country and multisports. Most parents and carers who shared their views with inspectors were positive about the school. They would readily recommend it to other parents.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, leaders have not made clear the essential knowledge that pupils must know and remember. As a result, some pupils do not build upon their knowledge to know and remember more. Leaders must ensure that, from the early years to Year 6, the curriculum builds upon what pupils know and can do.
  • Some pupils do not attend school regularly. Their learning is disrupted as a result. Leaders have made pupils' attendance a priority, but there is more work to do. Leaders should continue to work with parents and other agencies to ensure that all pupils attend regularly so that they achieve as well as they can.
