What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 February 2024

This school has high ambitions for children. The school accurately identifies any gaps in children's knowledge, skills or experience. The curriculum, teaching and environment are used to address these effectively. For example, the school is aware that there is limited access to natural outdoor spaces locally. As a result, a forest school facility was created within the school grounds to provide children with a space to learn about and explore nature. Children take part in many educational visits. These include visits to local shops, train stations and building sites. The school places high priority on safeguarding children's welfare. If safeguarding concerns arise, they are dealt with swiftly and robustly. Children are safe here, and they feel safe. Staff greet children with genuine enthusiasm and care when they arrive at school. Typically, children arrive eager and happy to start their school day. School staff take the time to get to know children well when they join. The school engages effectively with parents and carers to find out about children's likes, dislikes and needs. Staff and parents work together to help children learn the school's routines and expectations. Children settle quickly and happily. They treat each other with kindness and behave responsibly.
