What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils are proud of their welcoming school. They arrive at school each day happy and ready to learn. Pupils' attendance is high. They want to come to school because of the warm relationships that they have with staff and each other. Pupils are well behaved and they demonstrate good manners. The school's values of compassion and respect for others underpin pupils' conduct. Pupils are well supported to manage their emotions and make positive choices. Children in the Reception Year settle into routines quickly. Across the school, pupils easily meet the schools' high expectations for their behaviour. Pupils' wider development is well considered at this school. Their school experience is enriched by a range of trips and visits. For example, pupils spoke enthusiastically about visits to Blackpool and to the theatre. Pupils increase their independence by taking on various roles and responsibilities, such as acting as school councillors. These opportunities help pupils to better understand the wider world. Pupils flourish at this school. The school expects the very best for pupils' achievement. Since the previous inspection, it has taken effective action to strengthen the curriculum. This has been successful. Pupils respond well to the high aspirations that the school has for their success. Typically, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- A small number of pupils do not receive the support that they need to become confident and fluent readers. When this happens, these pupils struggle to access the full breadth of the school's curriculum. The school should ensure that these pupils receive appropriate and timely support, so that they catch up quickly and learn to read well.
- Some older pupils have gaps in their knowledge due to weaknesses in the previous curriculum. This hinders these pupils from building successfully on what they already know. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to identify and remedy the gaps in these pupils' knowledge, before introducing new learning.
