What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils are proud to be part of this nurturing school and look forward to attending every day. They understand the school's high expectations, which are reinforced right from the start in Nursery. Pupils strive to live out the school's values. They delight in achieving certificates through school assemblies for their kindness and willingness to help others. The school knows pupils well and understands exactly what they need to succeed socially, emotionally and academically. Pupils thrive, feeling valued and secure. No matter what their starting point, pupils achieve highly and are ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave calmly, considerately and responsibly. Staff set clear routines for behaviour, which are followed consistently throughout the school. Pupils contribute enthusiastically during lessons, work cooperatively with others and try hard to live up to the school's high expectations. Staff actively look for ways to develop pupils' confidence such as organising games for younger pupils at social times and singing with the school choir in the local community. Pupils rightly trust staff and know that they can turn to adults for help and advice or to share their concerns. Pupils learn that everyone should be treated with compassion and equity. As a result, pupils feel welcome in this school.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of foundation subjects, pupils do not consistently have sufficient opportunities to extend their thinking. As a result, pupils' understanding of these subjects is not as deep as it could be. The school should support staff to further develop their subject knowledge and enable pupils to meet the school's ambitious expectations equally well in all subjects.
