What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
This lovely school sits firmly at the heart of its community. Pupils respond wonderfully to the school's high expectations of them. This is evident in pupils' high attendance and their positive conduct. Pupils know how to behave and get along very well with one another. The nurturing and caring relationships between adults and pupils make the school a productive place of learning. The school makes the most of its setting. Pupils love learning outdoors and the outdoor classroom where they learn valuable life skills. Pupils have many exciting learning and play opportunities in the well-designed outside spaces. Pupils are delightful. They and their parents are proud of their school. For example, the 'stay and play' or 'snuggle up to read' sessions give parents a chance to find out about their child's day in the early years and learn how to help them at home. The motto of 'live life in all its fullness' permeates every aspect of the school. Pupils gain confidence from the meaningful activities that introduce them to life beyond the school gates. They develop their character in many ways, such as by performing at the local church, running fundraising events or learning about living healthy lives.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teaching does not deepen the learning of pupils who are ready to learn new things. When this happens, their learning slows. The school should ensure that all staff effectively support pupils' learning.
