What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 November 2025

Pupils enjoy coming to this highly inclusive and welcoming school. They describe it fondly as the 'blue school on the hill'. Pupils understand how the school's '9 habits' help them to be honest, patient and considerate. The school's vision of 'enjoy, explore and encourage' is central to its work. This enables pupils, staff, parents and carers to quickly develop a sense of belonging to their school community. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. Adults know the pupils for the individuals they are. They take time to listen to them and help them with any concerns or worries that may arise. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils live up to the school's high expectations for their behaviour and conduct. They understand the importance of following the school rules and move around the school calmly. This starts in the early years. Children in Nursery respond well to the routines that are in place, take turns and play well with one another. Bullying is rare. Pupils understand the importance of friendship and know that adults will help them to find solutions to any disputes if they occur. Pupils take pride in their learning. They eagerly share their knowledge with adults. Staff use a range of strategies to remove any barriers that the most vulnerable pupils face. This ensures that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities or those who are disadvantaged receive the support they need to be able to thrive. Across the school, pupils try their best and produce work of a high quality. Outcomes for pupils in national assessments, which are consistently above national averages, reflect the school's determination to help every pupil reach their potential. As a result, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently select learning activities that help pupils to deepen their knowledge.
  • Leaders should ensure that staff in the early years maximise every opportunity they have to engage children, particularly the most disadvantaged and vulnerable, in high-quality interactions that develop and extend their knowledge and vocabulary.
