What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 June 2025

Pupils are happy and safe in this caring school. Relationships across the school are warm and respectful, reflecting the school's values of courage, kindness and respect. As one pupil said, 'Everyone and every emotion is welcome in our school.' The school is aspirational for what it wants pupils to learn, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils develop secure knowledge and skills in reading, writing and mathematics and achieve well by the end of Year 6. Pupils enjoy their learning, for instance, about other religions and cultures in the world. They understand and respect how people are different. Pupils learn how to keep safe in their local area and what it means to be responsible citizens. Pupils enjoy coming to school, and their attendance is slowly improving. If bullying happens, pupils know that the school will help them effectively. Pupils participate in a range of school clubs, including choir and gymnastics. These clubs are popular and well attended. Pupils are proud to hold positions of responsibility as house captains or school councillors. In these roles, pupils work to improve the school, including the enhancement of the playtime equipment and fundraising for improving the books in the school library.

What the school should improve

  • The behaviour of some pupils is not meeting the high expectations the school has set. At times, their poor behaviour disrupts learning for others and at play and lunchtime their behaviour upsets pupils. The school must ensure that staff are clear about its expectations of pupils' behaviour and that staff support pupils to manage their behaviour.
