What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Children in the early years and pupils in key stages 1 and 2 learn to be kind, thoughtful and polite. They are proud of the knowledge that they gain from their learning through the school's curriculum. Pupils meet the school's high expectations and achieve well. They are inspired to learn even more knowledge, for instance through activities that the school provides in its extensive, wooded outdoor area. Pupils benefit from high-quality relationships with one another and staff. This begins very successfully in the class for two-year-olds, where children form strong links with their special member of staff. The school sets a positive example of how to behave. Pupils are confident that the school takes their worries and concerns seriously. They are happy and feel safe. Pupils develop their confidence and skills through the many well-considered learning opportunities that the school provides. This includes opportunities for pupils to care for Pebbles, the school's dog. Pupils are pleased to be part of their school. For example, being one of the 'busy bees' and wearing the school's 'golden bee' badge. Popular clubs include choir, a self-defence class and the library club. Pupils are well prepared for their future learning.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school's work to develop the early years is less clearly focused on its curriculum. This means that some of its actions are less effective at achieving its vision. The school should identify more precisely its actions to improve the quality of its curriculum in the early years.
