What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

This school is an inclusive, safe and welcoming place where pupils from a wide variety of backgrounds get on well and respect one another. This is because the school has high expectations of their behaviour. It also gives pupils ambitious academic goals to aim for. Staff support pupils to work hard and do their best. Pupils' achievement by the end of Year 6 is generally strong. Most are well prepared for secondary school. The school encourages pupils to contribute to school life and the wider community. Its engagement with the community and pupils' families is a notable feature. Pupils can get involved in local projects for good causes, take on leadership roles and have a voice in decision-making. These, and other activities, help them to develop responsible attitudes, which show in their behaviour and positive outlooks. Pupils frequently arrive from other places during the year. Many speak different languages. The school welcomes all and makes them feel at home so that new pupils settle in quickly. Playtimes and lessons run smoothly. If there are any upsets or problems, staff respond swiftly to make things better.

What the school should improve

  • The school has not ensured that the curriculum in some subjects provides sufficient opportunities for pupils to revisit and use key basic knowledge. This means pupils sometimes forget important content. The school should provide more deliberate opportunities for pupils to practise using crucial subject-specific knowledge so that they remember it. This should be supported by further refinements in the way the school uses assessment.
