What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

This is a happy and inclusive school. The school's ethos, rooted in the mission statement 'Love one another as I have loved you', creates a nurturing and ambitious environment, where children get off to a strong start in the early years, supported by staff who build warm and caring relationships. Leaders have high expectations for pupils in all areas of learning. Pupils work hard and want to do well. Pupils' achievement by the end of Year 6 is generally strong. Pupils embark on a rich, personal development journey at this school. They embrace various leadership roles, such as 'well-being warriors', and take pride in contributing to the life of the school. Through activities such as promoting recycling and organising charitable events, they make a positive difference in the community. Collectively, these leadership roles empower pupils to contribute to the school and wider community. The school has high expectations of behaviour and many pupils are enthusiastic to learn. However, on occasions, these expectations are not met. When this happens, pupils can become distracted from their learning.

What the school should improve

  • Staffing instability has contributed to some shortcomings in the implementation of the curriculum. This means that, at times, teaching is not well matched to pupils' needs and pupils' tasks are not sharply focused enough on the intended learning. The school should ensure effective oversight of curriculum implementation so that it is delivered as the school intends.
  • Sometimes, teachers are not as consistent as they should be in adopting the school's approach to managing pupils' behaviour. Consequently, pupils' misbehaviour can lead to distracting others from their learning. The school should ensure that its expectations for behaviour are consistently applied by all staff.
