What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
This is a school at the heart of its community. It prioritises building positive relationships with pupils and their families from the moment they join the school. Parents and carers value this. It helps pupils to settle quickly. The school's 'Hub', which includes the 'Pantry' shop and café, provides a place for parents to meet and participate in a range of courses and information sessions. This helps parents to find out about how to support their child with their learning. It contributes positively to the school's family friendly ethos. Pupils help to raise money for local organisations. They recognise the importance of being a responsible and caring citizen. The school is ambitious for all pupils. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. However, the achievement of disadvantaged pupils in recent national tests was below the national average in reading and mathematics. A significant proportion of pupils in Year 4 did not meet the standard of the multiplication tables check. The school provides a calm and safe environment for pupils to learn. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They demonstrate the school's high expectations in class and around school. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They describe it as a caring and supportive place to be. Positive relationships between staff and pupils are evident across the school. Staff calmly and skilfully support pupils who become distracted or have difficulty regulating their behaviour. Pupils benefit from participating fully in their learning.
What the school should improve
- The school's understanding of how well pupils achieve in foundation subjects is not fully embedded. It does not know if the broader curriculum is having the intended impact on pupils' learning. The school should further develop its strategies for reviewing the impact of the school's curriculum on pupils' learning.
